Description
The Security Research Event (SRE) is the forum where industry, policy makers, safety and security practitioners, knowledge institutions and critical infrastructure operators discuss security threats and challenges, and how EU research and innovation can contribute to tackle them.
Security research and innovation has a significant role to play to address these security threats in the EU and protect our democratic values and fundamental rights. Through innovation, safety and security practitioners can be equipped with the tools they need to detect threats, prevent crime and accidents, secure evidence, model future risk scenarios and design the most effective responses.
The main theme of 2025 edition is Boosting security through EU-based innovation. Five thematic panels will provide the opportunity to discuss how to achieve the identified goals while ensuring the European strategic autonomy.
In addition, Commissioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner will hold his first implementation dialogue on the challenges to the EU’s security industry competitiveness and to the uptake of security innovation. This dialogue will be an occasion to identify ways to improve, simplify and facilitate implementation of the EU policy agenda when it comes to research and innovation for security.
The conference deliberations will be accompanied by exhibition. In more than 50 booths, solutions developed under the Horizon Framework Programmes, the Internal Security Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument will be illustrating the discussions of the Conference. Institutional bodies such as the European Commission, the Research Executive Agency and Justice and Home Affairs Agencies will also be present. The booth-based presentations will be complemented by small scale demonstrations held throughout the two days of the event in a dedicated area.
The event will be accompanied by the Security Innovation Award ceremony, bringing in the spotlight the most spectacular success stories of market uptake in EU-funded security innovation.
Join hundreds of security research stakeholders at the biggest event dedicated to EU security research, and do not miss the chance to shape the future of EU security!
