short description | The cluster "Civil Security for Society" supports the implementation of EU policy priorities in the areas of security, cyber security and civil protection. The aim is to provide new knowledge and innovation to help responders and managers manage and prevent criminal activities, terrorist threats, cyber threats and crises and disasters. This destination addresses, among other, objectives identified by the Security Union Strategy [[COM(2020) 795 final.]] as well as the border management and security dimensions of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum [[COM(2020) 609 final.]]. As such, topics included under the destination are aimed at ensuring strong European land, air and sea external borders. This destination will develop knowledge and technologies that may be taken up by other instruments, such as the Integrated Border Management Fund, that will enable exploitation of research results and final delivery of the required tools to security practitioners. |
