The “Secure societies – Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens” Work Programme is about protecting our citizens, society and economy as well as our assets, infrastructures and services, our prosperity, political stability and well-being. Any malfunction or disruption, intentional or accidental, can have detrimental impact with high associated economic or societal costs. The primary aim of this Work Programme is thus to enhance the resilience of our society against natural and man-made disasters, ranging from new crisis management tools to communication interoperability, and to develop novel solutions for the protection of critical infrastructure; to fight crime and terrorism ranging from new forensic tools to protection against explosives; to improve border security, ranging from improved maritime border protection to supply chain security and to support the Unions external security policies including through conflict prevention and peace building; and to provide enhanced cybersecurity, ranging from secure information sharing to new assurance models. Proposers are encouraged to use, where appropriate, the services provided by European space-based systems (e.g. EGNOS, Galileo or Copernicus).
