1 H2020 Opportunities in the Area of Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection Angelo MARINO Head of Unit Security Research AIIC General Assembly Rome, 26/10/2013 NOT LEGALLY BINDING

2 Outline The context: EPCIP What have we done: FP7 and other actions Where are we going to: H2020

3 EPCIP 1/4 European Programme on Critical Infrastructure Protection Launched in 2006: Identification and designation of EU CI Directive 2008/114/EC Action Plan, CWIN, expert groups, Information sharing Funding for CIP-related measures: FP7, CIPS (DG HOME) The external dimension

4 EPCIP 2/4 Reviewed in 2012: We need more consideration of the interdependencies: Between sectors Across national boundaries A new approach: The Four Prevention, preparedness and response

5 EPCIP 3/4 The Four: EUROCONTROL GALILEO Electricity Transmission Grid European Gas Transmission Network

6 EPCIP 4/4 Prevention: Set up tools for risk assessment and risk management, foster exchanges of best practices, develop scenario exercises, guidelines and recommendations. Preparedness: Increase consideration by the Member States and other actors reliant upon critical infrastructures of how they can prepare in response to events affecting European critical infrastructures. Response Strengthen the links between the critical infrastructure community and early warning systems, investigate the use of the Union Civil Protection mechanism to help with the long-term recovery of critical services.

9 Other EU CIP actions Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security Related Risks CIPS More than 100 projects during One flagship four-year project: ERNCIP European Reference Network for CIP

11 Horizon 2020 Three priorities: 1) Support for "Excellent Science" 2) Support for "Industrial Leadership" 3) Support for research to tackle "Societal Challenges"

12 Horizon 2020

13 Excellent Science Why: World class science is the foundation of tomorrow s technologies, jobs and wellbeing Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

14 Industrial Leadership Why: Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

15 Societal Challenges 1/2 Why: Concerns of citizens and society/eu policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc.) 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

16 Societal Challenges 2/2 1. Health, demographic change and wellbeing 2. Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine, maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy 3. Secure, clean and efficient energy 4. Smart, green and integrated transport 5. Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials 6. Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies 7. Secure & innovative societies

17 Security Research in Horizon 2020 Bi-annual work programme: Four calls: DRS Disaster-resilience: safeguarding and securing society, including adapting to climate change FCT Fight against Crime and Terrorism BSE Border Security and External Security DS Digital Security: Cybersecurity, Privacy and Trust Call deadlines in 2014 and 2015

18 CIP Research in Horizon 2020 DRS call: focus on the infrastructures and their resilience DS call: focus on the role of ICT for CIP

19 Horizon 2020 Simplification A simpler programme architecture which makes it easier for participants to identify where funding opportunities exist; A single set of participation rules (covering issues such as eligibility, evaluation, Intellectual Property Rights, etc.) applying to all funding provided under Horizon 2020, with derogations only possible when justified by specific needs; Electronic signature of grants and amendments; to simplify and speed up administrative procedures; Simpler funding rules, with two standard funding rates, one funding rate per project and indirect costs covered by a single flat-rate (see below); A reduced burden of financial controls and audits, thanks partly to the use of flat rates for indirect costs, a major source of error in the past.

20 Horizon 2020 Funding Rates Innovation Actions: 70% EU funding Research and Innovation Actions: 100% EU funding Indirect costs: always flat-rate 25% of the direct costs
