Enhancing the security of citizens against terrorism and lone-actor violence in confined spaces such as schools

In short

This is an Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €9.67 million for about 2 grants of €4.83 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Deadline: 5 November 2026.

What the call wants to achieve

• Increased understanding of policymakers and relevant security practitioners of the phenomenon of terrorism and lone-actor violence towards citizens in confined places such as schools, in the European context
• Terrorist and lone-actor attacks to citizens in confined places such as schools, are prevented in Europe by, e.g., detecting and tackling early signs of isolation and radicalisation, as well as the promotion of a secure and inclusive environment
• European schools and other confined places, e.g., places of worship, public administration or other buildings accessible to the public, are provided with state-of-the-art means of ensuring their security
• Cooperation between Police Authorities in Europe and relevant staff (in schools, public administration, etc.) is improved.
