Open topic on supporting disruptive technological innovations for civil security

Call UE del programma Horizon Europe (HORIZON), bando "Civil Security for Society 2026" (HORIZON-CL3-2026-01). Tipo di azione: HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions. Stato: aperta. Prossima scadenza: 05/11/2026 (single-stage). Testo ufficiale (in inglese): Scope: This topic aims to support the integration of disruptive technological innovations[1] into civil security by strengthening research and innovation activities that enhance preparedness, response capabilities, and risk mitigation. A key focus is bridging the gap between early-stage, low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) research and applied security solutions, ensuring that emerging technologies are effectively transitioned into operational use. Proposals should prioritize disruptive solutions that address diverse security threats while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of civil security operations. Emphasis should be placed on ensuring that these technologies are robust, reliable, scalable, and aligned with the needs of security practitioners. This includes fostering a structured pathway for transitioning low TRL innovations into practical applications, ensuring rigorous testing and validation processes for safety, performance, and interoperability. To achieve this, proposals should promote strong collaboration between researchers, public authorities, industry partners, and end-users. Such partnerships will help align technological advancements with real-world security needs, facilitating the…
