What is ESRIF Purpose and objectives

• A voluntary, informal attempt of 27 EU Member
  States, 9 FP7 Associated Countries, the

  Security Research and Innovation Agenda for all
  European stakeholders (public and private)
• Advising European national civil security
  research programmes
• Taking a mid long term perspective
• Bringing together the demand and supply side of
  security solutions, and the civil society
  perspective
• to aid the structuring process in the security
  domain on both demand and supply side

ESRIF Working methodology

• Identification of mid term threats and
  challengestaking into account existing security
  policy decisions, strategies and plans on the
  European and national level
• Identification of long term threats and
  challengesmainly building on foresight and
  scenario techniques, linking predictions and
  expectations about future developments with the
  focal areas of the ESRIF working groups
• Identification of the required capabilities to
  enhance security within the scope of ESRIFs
  considerationsas well as the supporting
  framework to achieve them (society, market and
  governance related)
• Identification of the related research
  requirementstaking into account ongoing and
  planned programmes and work
• Prioritisation of the research needs along
  criteria that ESRIF will define, incl.
  effectiveness, acceptability, cost, maturity of
  technologies, innovation and replacement cycles
  for large systems, etc.resulting in a strategic
  research and innovation roadmap
• Presentation and communication of the findings
