    • SERENE 2

      The aim of the SEREN2 coordination action is to link the different NCPs of the Security research programme, to initiate coordination in the network, and to improve the quality of the of the network and, as a matter of fact, the ability of its members to deliver a high level of services to the comunity.  Security Research presents several specificities as compared to other COOPERATIO's thematic priorities. In consequence, perhaps more than in the other FP7 programmes and thematic priorities, there is a strong necessity to inform and support the European Security Research community to participate to FP7. Project activities will focuse on organisation of partnering and brokerage evants, developing of a partner search system and other useful tools which are directly available from project website.
