Title of the presentation
Security research in FP7
Abstract
The way of considering the security research has evolved during the last years. Security research must take into account the importance of human values besides the technological developments: societal issues, and in particular the requirements for privacy and data protection, are more and more coming upfront in our challenges as an important component of the European way to develop security.
The protection of data, the respect of ethics and the impact evaluation of the technologies must be an integral part of the technical developments. By taking these requirements at an early stage, their costs could remain reasonable.
Any research project supported by the EC must of course comply with all data protection legal requirements and is carefully reviewed in that context. In addition, we have some reflexion going on to better understand the mutual dependency of technology, organisational dynamics, human factors, societal issues as well as related legal aspects.
