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.

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
