Civil Security for Society 2026 · Open topic on supporting disruptive technological innovations for civil security

Project results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following expected outcomes: • Improved preparedness, evidence-based approaches and response capabilities, along with a strengthened ability to mitigate risks from diverse threats, by integrating validated disruptive technologies into real-world operations; • Accelerated adoption of innovative solutions by reducing barriers through rigorous testing and validation, fostering collaboration among public…

This topic aims to support the integration of disruptive technological innovations[1] into civil security by strengthening research and innovation activities that enhance preparedness, response capabilities, and risk mitigation. A key focus is bridging the gap between early-stage, low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) research and applied security solutions, ensuring that emerging technologies are effectively transitioned into operational use.Proposals should prioritize…

Activities are expected to achieve TRL 4-5 by the end of the project - see General Annex B.
