ProgrammesThe European Research Executive Agency has created a webpage gathering information to allow security practitioners to become more easily involved in Civil Security for Society research projects.
The Horizon Europe – Cluster 3 ‘Civil Security for Society’ programme offers funding opportunities for law enforcement, first responders, critical infrastructure operators and other relevant public authorities to co-design, test and deploy new security technologies.
The operational experience of security practitioners is essential in Cluster 3 projects, both as end users and key partners in EU-funded research.
The new website for security practitioners provides information on which roles to play in EU-funded projects and how to get involved, as well as some testimonials of successful participations in projects.
The next call for project proposals will open on 6 May 2026. Check out the Funding and Tenders Portal for more information and do not hesitate to contact your NCP for further information.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to

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.
