11th Symposion on European Civil Security Research

On 5 and 6 March 2025, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is organising a symposium on the European Security Research Programme.

Here are some of the topics covered during this 2-day event:

• The role of research and security in Europe under the new Commission
• Synergies between European and national security research programmes
• Funding projects with potential dual use: risk or opportunity for civil security research?
• The 10th Framework Programme for Research and Innovation

Additionally, participants of this event are invited to a Pre-Symposium Workshop on 4 March 2025 titled ‘Future Scenarios and the Urgent Need for Research and Innovation,’ taking place from 13:00 to 16:30. This workshop is organised by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security.

During the workshop, the ministry will share insights from its future foresight work, offer a real scenario planning experience, and provide an open space to discuss the urgent need for research and innovation.

The workshop is open to symposium participants (max. 50 attendees).
