The Managing Authorities for the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI) of Member States (and, in the case of BMVI, Schengen Associated Countries, SACs), have recently received the Call for Expression of Interest for two Specific Actions.
These Specific Actions are:
Background
Both the legal basis for EU civil security and border management research & innovation programmes, and the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI) regulations, state that ISF and BMVI should be used to take up innovative European technologies and methods, in particular those coming from Union-funded research and innovation. EU Member States or Schengen Associated Countries can plan projects and funding to favour uptake in their ISF or BMVI national programme, that they manage in shared management mode.
These Specific Actions aim at providing additional, dedicated funding to EU Member States (MS) and Schengen Associated Countries (SACs) for projects to test, validate, further pilot, transfer and/or deploy innovative technologies and/or methods (i.e. “uptake” of innovative technologies), especially those coming from previous EU co-funded research and innovation on civil security and border management. Selected projects will be implemented in shared management mode by MS or SACs participating to ISF or BMVI, via funding received in addition to the allocation under their ISF and BMVI national programmes.
These are the second such Calls for Specific Actions to support uptake of innovation from EU co-funded research and innovation on civil security and border management that the Commission launches in this MFF. The first such Calls, under the 2021-2022 Work Programmes for the Thematic Facilities of ISF and BMVI, funded eight projects that are ongoing now.
2024 Calls for Expression for Interest for Specific Actions for Innovation uptake in civil security and border management
Call for Expression for Interest for Specific Action “Promoting innovation in border checks and/or border surveillance by taking up research results - INNO”, under BMVI (BMVI/2024/SA/1.1.5)
Call for Expression for Interest for Specific Action “Validating new technologies to prevent, detect and investigate organised crime - NTOC” under ISF (ISF/2024/SA/3.4.2)
The Calls for Expression of Interest for these two Specific Actions are attached to this news item.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
