The Security Research Event (SRE) is DG HOME's biggest event, and it gathers around a thousand policymakers, security practitioners, researchers, industry, and civil society representatives.

The main theme of 2025 edition is Boosting security through EU-based innovation. Five thematic panels will provide the opportunity to discuss how to achieve the identified goals while ensuring European strategic autonomy.

In addition, Commissioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner will hold his first implementation dialogue on the challenges to the EU’s security industry competitiveness and to the uptake of security innovation. This dialogue will be an occasion to identify ways to improve, simplify and facilitate the implementation of the EU policy agenda regarding research and innovation for security.

In more than 50 booths, solutions developed under the Horizon Framework Programmes, the Internal Security Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument will illustrate the Conference discussions.
 
Institutional bodies such as the European Commission, the Research Executive Agency and Justice and Home Affairs Agencies will also be present. The booth-based presentations will be complemented by small-scale demonstrations held throughout the two days of the event in a dedicated area.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
