Call

Social innovations as enablers of security solutions and increased security perception

Detailed Call Description

Proposals should map and analyse a social innovation in one or more distinct social spheres, in areas such as:

  • Security disturbance at large (pop-) cultural and sports events;
  • Security and security behaviour in public places, public transport or mobility;
  • Radicalisation, dis-integration in local communities and social media;
  • Digital identity, data portability and data minimisation with an attribute based society in control;
  • Safety and security in remote communication, command and control of operation in risk scenarios;
  • Mobilisation on human trafficking;
  • Automatic detections’ use.

Proposals should consider the social relevance of research, social marketing, transferability and scaling of such social innovations as this is an area where there is limited research and experimentation, which could help to spread the use of such solutions. They should also consider education, training and change individual behavioural and social practices by involving citizens and local communities as generators, validators and end-users of the new horizontal/advanced technologies.
