This “Project to policy kick off seminar” (P2PKOS) aimed to raise awareness at 2 levels. On the one hand projects funded under the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 7 call needed to better understand the EU policy landscape in areas such as digital security, protection of critical infrastructure, border management, crime and terrorism or crisis management. On the other hand, EC policy officers working on various security related areas were interested to get a deeper knowledge of the security research project portfolio and how projects findings could impact and support their policy making work.
