SecureCHAINS at Security Research Conference 2011, 20 - 21 September Warsaw

At the EU’s sixth annual Security Research Conference (SRC11) more than 1,000 policy makers, including representative from European Parliament, European Commission and Poland’s parliament and ministries, researchers, stackholders and end users from across Europe gathered in Warsaw to debate the legal, technological and organisational issues on public safety and security.
SRC11’s technology sessions showcased innovative solutions developed at both international and national level within the frameworks of international and national projects.
EU Security Research projects range from pin-point specificity – such as hand-held equipment for earthquake rescue teams – to the wide-ranging, such as large-scale technology demonstrations to secure Europe’s external frontiers or counter threats from CBRN (chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear) materials.

1)Directions of security research in Europe from European Parliament, European Commission and Polish Presidency perspective;
