European Commission's 7th Framework Programme
There is a distinct marine flavour in the latest Security call from the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme (FP7) with both 'Main port area security system' and 'Sea border surveillance system' appearing as topics. To increase Small and Medium sized Enterprise (SME) participation in its Security activities the SecureSME initiative was set up by the European Commission to support SMEs in preparing and submitting proposals in response to the FP7 research and technology calls in the field of Security.
In the first stage the SecureSME project intends to identify each country's Security SME profile and encourage ideas for proposals the FP7 in the 'Security' theme. This will be done by a cost-free Capability Audit to identify the technological strengths and needs of participating SMEs. Alternatively a brief questionnaire can be completed which will ensure that companies are entered on the data base used by SecureSME partners when building project teams assembling projects.
