Secure Societies Pauli Stigell, Pekka Rantala
Security Union Security research is on the rise in conventional and cyber fields. Finns have a relatively good record in this programme and the programme s success ratio is not low. Digital security s budget was trippled and is likely stay high. Notice: European solutions are searched for, compliance to the Call text is very important. It is important to know some backgound policies of the European Union. Ample amounts of information is to be found on the Internet but partners for the projects only though contacts to researchers in past/ongoing projects and in Brockarage events in Europe nearest in Tallinn in 14-15 November (SRE2017) https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/security-research-innovationand-education-event-2017
