Security Research in Horizon 2020

ValueSec Final Conference Brussels, 10 December 2013

Aleksandra Oczko-Dolny DG Enterprise and Industry Policy and Research in Security

What is Horizon 2020 Initial Commission proposal for a €80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020)

A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:  Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth  Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment  Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

Three priorities

Excellent science

Industrial leadership

Societal challenges

Priority 3: Societal challenges Why:  Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport) cannot be achieved without innovation

 Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities

 Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Security : a societal challenge  The challenge 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.

 A primary aim is to enhance the resilience of our society.

Horizon 2020: Different from FP7?  Challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions  One project – one funding rate: •

Research and innovation actions -Maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs

•

Innovation actions - 70% maximum for profit making entities

 Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs  Time-to-grant of 8 months

 Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) instrument  Strengthened coordination with relevant EU-Agencies: FRONTEX, EUROPOL, ENISA, EMSA, eu-LISA etc.  Closer coordination with the activities of EDA - but exclusively civilian focus 13

Societal aspects 1  In H2020 full integration of SSH into all 7 Challenges. When integrating objectives of European security industry, human rights, privacy, cultural identity, migration, gender aspects need to be taken into account.  Equal collaboration between all stakeholders: industry, academics, end-users, civil society representatives  Ethical screening and review procedure will become more structured, consistent and are performed on a more systematic basis. WPs on ethics, independent advisory boards.

Societal aspects 2  The ethical aspects must be considered during the development of a system (Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), (Privacy by Design) (PbD) and not only when the system is used.  Ethical/Societal Dimension incorporated in three calls – 8 separate topics.  The respect of privacy and civil liberties is the guiding principle in the whole WP.

Societal aspects 3 Societal Impacts Table  Guidance and stimulus for proposers in order to reflect about the societal impacts of the proposal  Also used by evaluators when assessing the proposal impact,

during the negotiation of GAs and project's reporting  10 questions verifying if security research: meets the needs of society, benefits society, Does not have negative impacts on society

Security sensitivity aspects Security Scrutiny Procedure:  The Security Committee Members requested (via their national security authority representative) to verify if all security aspects properly addressed (an agreement)

 Follows the evaluation and before the negotiation.  For projects with classified deliverables:  Core Grant Agreement - addition of special clauses
