IMG-S for H2020
P i e r r e-a lain.f onteyne @ uclouvain.be
What is IMG-S ?
• Open forum bringing together
security researchers from Industry,
SMEs, Research and Technology
Organisations (RTOs) and
Universities
• Enlisted 230 members from 119
organizations representing 24
countries (Member States or
Associated)
• IMG-S participants have extensive
experience in European Union
security research since 2001 first
actions and are active participants of
the security theme Seventh
Framework Programme (FP7)
2
IMG-S Goals
• To build a common understanding between academia, industry
and end-users towards identifying R&T priorities that may answer
to the European security needs and gaps
• To combine expertise on various technologies and to propose
priorities for future research topics under EC/EU programmes for the
security domain at all levels
• Define a long term view on the priorities for research in the security
domain
• Work in collaboration with a number of existing and recognized
organizations in the security domain, such as ASD, EOS,
EUROTECH, ENLETS, …
To support the European Commission and its
Member States to build European
technological capabilities for Security

Adapted from EC DG ENTR
IMG-S Structure
Two level organization consisting
of:
•
A set of technology areas (6
technical areas -TA + 1 Cross
technology group - cTA)
providing consensual view on
research priorities in their own
domain.
•
A Synthesis and Coordination
Group (SCG) consisting of
policy experts and
representatives from the TAs
to orient the work and develop
a holistic security research view
translating the technology
viewpoints in to mission priorities.

IMG-S achievements
Extact from table of Critical Technologies for Communications, Resilience and
CBRNE
TA2 Communications
(a) Provision of wide
networks, both fixed and
mobile;
(b) High data rate
throughput (LTE and
dynamic use of spectrum);
(c) Constant access to
communications assets;
(d) Assurance of information
security;
(e) Mobility;
(f) Localization of people
(especially first responders),
equipment and resources;
(g) Interoperability
TA4 Resilience
(a) European security of
supply of key enabling
materials such as detection
and personal protection
technologies
(b) Long endurance
Portable Power and Energy
Management
(c) Localisation technologies
in urban areas under GPS
denied environments
(d) Technologies to support
autonomous platforms for
crisis and border
management
TA6 CBRNE
(a) High power optical systems (for
detection at distance);
(b) Even higher energy density
systems (nuclear) for the detection of
hidden materials;
(c) Lower energy (THz) systems for
the detection of hidden materials;
(d) Specific biological material sensing
with no false positives, for the
detection of biological threats;
(e) Biological material sensing with
certain detection, for decontamination;
(f) Specific chemical detection systems;
(g) Broad spectrum biological
detection to classify unknown threats.

IMG-S Position Paper for H2020
This Position Paper presents the
IMG-S view of research priorities
for Horizon 2020. Its research
topics are further described in the
Paper’s sections pertaining to the
respective IMG-S Technical Area or
Working Group. When applicable,
critical technologies are also
presented.

IMG-S supports the symbiosis between
technological and societal approaches of
security
• Security is a difficult to manage human right
• Universal Declaration Article 3: “Everyone has the right to
life, liberty and security of person.” Link (interdependence)
with Liberty is explicit
• Emergence of new “systemic” security technology experts
able to think “soft science”
• In H2020 projects, the societal needs should be
considered with respect to the Technology Readiness
Level.
10
Conclusion
• A main achievement of the EC FP7 Security
Theme has been the constitution of a wide
and heterogeneous community of Security
Researchers in Europe.
• IMG-S offers to this community of
researchers from the industry, SMES, RTOs,
Academia a place to define together
converging lines
• The IMG-S community is ready to contribute
a successfull H2020
