Cooperation theme 10 on Security is adopted by the European Commission on 9 July 2012 as part of Work Programme 2013. Its aim is to help develop technologies and knowledge that can increase security for citizens and improve competitiveness for industry. The Security theme involves five sections: the first describes the general context; the second includes all the topics for which proposals will be called in this work programme; the third deals with the practical arrangements related to the calls; the fourth focuses on actions that are not implemented through calls for proposals; and the fifth concerns the indicative budget.
