New report focuses on the role of research and technology in civil security resilience

Did you know that fake news are 70% more likely to be shared than real news? Or that nearly 70% of all drug seizures by custom agencies in the EU happen in ports?

The European Commission’s Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) has published its first report, where you can find information on these topics and many more.

Strengthening civil security with research and technology

The CERIS Expert Group has just issued its first report, titled “Building resilience in the civil security domain based on research and technology”. The report is based on the 20 annual CERIS workshops and seminars, collecting all the edited outcomes of these discussions and expert exchanges. It is designed as an information resource for researchers, policy makers, industry representatives, as well as the broader public.

The report covers a broad array of topics, spanning from combating child sexual abuse online and countering disinformation, fake news, and hate speech, to bioterrorist threats by non-state actors, disaster resilience and risk governance, travel facilitation at border-crossing points, and AI uses for security purposes.
