Funds two €3M projects that help already-proven emergency and civil-protection technology reach first responders and public agencies across Europe.

Funds tools that help European civil protection authorities plan for and respond to climate-driven disasters like floods, wildfires and heat waves.

Funds two €4M projects that build police technology and training to counter crime that climate change fuels, from environmental crime to carbon-market fraud.

Funds two €4.5M grants for police tools against emerging-tech crime and the lawful-data-access rules to match, run with Police Authorities as partners.

Funds one €5M project building forensic, training and privacy-safe data-sharing tools so European police and NGOs can find missing people and crack cold cases.

Funds two €4.8M projects that help police and communities catch radicalisation early and stop lone-actor attacks on schools and public buildings.

Funds a €3M project that reviews how synthetic biology could be misused for bioterrorism and pinpoints where monitoring and regulation fall short.

Funds two €4.84M projects giving infrastructure operators and authorities better ways to simulate disruptions, spot weak points, and learn from real incidents.

Funds a €4M project that studies the physical and cyber security risks green technology creates in cities, and how to manage them.

Funds two €4.5M projects that give infrastructure operators and first responders shared tools to spot risks and coordinate across borders during a crisis.

Funds two €1.5M projects that take an early-stage security technology and prove it works with the practitioners and public authorities who'd use it.

Funds one €5.83M project where public security procurers and practitioners jointly commission and test rival prototypes through a procurement tender.

Funds a cross-border consortium of public procurers and practitioners to jointly buy near-market civil security technology — not to build it.

Funds one €3M project building rugged, post-quantum-secure comms devices for first responders that keep working without cellular coverage.

Funds five lump-sum grants, each €3-4M, for tools that harden chip design or software supply chains against tampering, backdoors, and compromised dependencies.

Funds EU teams hardening AI systems against adversarial attacks and building privacy-preserving AI for sensitive government and enterprise use.

Funds €2-3M projects building post-quantum cryptographic schemes for digital ID wallets, or formally verified high-assurance cryptographic software.

Funds creative civil-security solutions for EU external borders that improve management while protecting fundamental rights and EU values.

Funds resilient, privacy-preserving security for the IoT-to-cloud computing continuum.

Funds €3–4M research projects that harden post-quantum cryptography, verify implementations and build trusted digital identity protocols.

Funds foundational quantum-cryptography research for secure future hybrid networks.
