Boosting the effectiveness of the Security Union
The Focus Area is supporting implementation of the Security Union priorities: reacting to and recovering from natural and man-made disasters; preventing, investigating and prosecuting crime including organised crime and terrorism; improving border entry security; protecting infrastructure against natural and man-made threats, including cyber-attacks; digital security and privacy; and space-related research. Research is not just about developing new technologies, but also requires understanding phenomena: this means social sciences and the humanities will be involved.
