An EU-funded project developed a potentially life-saving security system that boosts communication between the public and first responders in crisis situations such as terror attacks or natural disasters. It has since been adapted and is now being used by United Nations staff in the field.
An EU-funded project has developed a high-tech detection system to combat coastal crime such as smuggling, human trafficking, drug running, spying and terrorism. The software should keep maritime border security up to date and improve defence across Europe and further afield.
Tissue engineering is used to grow alternatives to donor tissue, but getting this tissue to integrate in patients has previously proved complicated. An EU-funded project addressed this problem by developing an innovative modular approach to engineering complex tissues with different cell types.
Large companies are increasingly finding themselves the targets of malicious cyber attacks. An EU-funded project is developing an IT-based tool that detects cyber-attacks as they occur. The tool extracts information about attackers and obstructs their actions, thereby protecting companies, their employees, clients and shareholders, and the wider economy against damages.
An EU-funded project is developing a way to speed up traffic at the EU's external borders and ramp up security using an automated border-control system that will put travellers to the test using lie-detecting avatars. It is introducing advanced analytics and risk-based management at border controls.
New technologies play a major role in almost all aspects of modern life. The area of law enforcement is no exception. An EU-funded project is helping law-enforcement organisations to identify, evaluate and adopt relevant, cutting-edge technologies that show the greatest potential to support police work.
An EU-funded project aims to tighten security at mass gatherings by providing a range of tools for policymakers and law-enforcement agencies. This should help prevent criminal acts and keep crowds safe.
Effective crisis response depends on agencies making sense of rapidly changing situations, but Europe remains ill-prepared for such scenarios. An EU-funded project is tackling this by improving planning, information sharing and coordination.
An EU-funded project aims to deliver an integrated system to detect, collect and analyse huge quantities of terrorist-related web content. This will support counter-terrorism investigation work, helping prevent attacks and saving lives.
Building on the success of three EU-funded projects, a proposed European space mission has won backing from the European Space Agency to build two nanosatellites that will demonstrate novel Earth observation and inter-satellite communication technology.
