Data repository for security research and innovation
This Horizon Europe topic aims to establish a common, fully functional data repository for security and disaster risk research and innovation. It seeks to prevent the loss of valuable research data by providing a centralized, interoperable, and continuously evolving system. The initiative builds upon the LAGO project's roadmap, ensuring data is accurately gathered, stored, managed, and readily available for reuse, thereby enhancing collaboration, trustworthiness, and the impact of security research across Europe.
Who is Funded
This section outlines the beneficiaries and strategic aims of the "Data repository for security research and innovation" program. It focuses on the security research community, including researchers, practitioners, industry, and policymakers, within the European Union and Associated Countries, to achieve enhanced data sharing and collaboration for critical security and disaster risk management.
