Every year, the European Research Executive Agency (REA) and the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs organise the Projects to Policy Seminar (PPS) to which all the coordinators of the newly launched projects are invited. 

The in-person event is structured into breakout sessions, preceded by a plenary with several presentations of general interest.

Participants meet in

a) groups that are split into the four thematic areas:

1.      Fighting Crime and Terrorism & Critical Infrastructure (FCT/INFRA)

2.      Strengthened Security Research and Innovation (SSRI)

3.      Disaster-Resilient Societies (DRS),

4.      Border Management (BM)

b) groups that are split across thematic areas.

The aim is to raise awareness among the relevant policy Directorates-General on the new projects that have been launched, as well as to provide guidance to these new projects regarding the policy-related outputs the policy Directorates-General are interested in.

Please note that this meeting is upon invitation only.
