GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Under this call, the applicants are invited to propose networks on the thematic areas of:

Option A: Border Security

Option B: Resilient Infrastructure

Applicants are invited to submit proposals for the establishment of Knowledge Networks for Security Research & Innovation. The role of these networks is to collect, aggregate, process, disseminate and exploit the existing knowledge.

Networks should engage with the main sources of information. This includes interaction with security experts, organisations, projects or initiatives, but also an extensive review of available databases, studies, reports or literature (notably all information generated under the EU-funded security research programmes, and possibly under other EU or MS funding programmes).

The applicants submitting the proposals have to ensure sufficient representativeness of the communities of interest and a balanced coverage in terms of knowledge and skills of the different knowledge domains required to face the challenge, including security operations, technologies, research & innovation, industry, market, etc.

Only one network in each area can be funded.

The project should have a maximum estimated duration of 3 years.
