It is intended to support future security and defence research programmes in their attempts to avoid duplication of investment and to promote synergies. 2 Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank Harm Greidanus (Unit E.7), Adam Lewis (Unit E.2) and Filippo Sevini (Unit G.II.7) for their thorough review of the report and their valuable comments. Authors Guy Bordin Mayya Hristova Encarnación Luque-Perez 3 Executive summary Policy context Horizon 2020 research projects focus exclusively on civil applications, but that does not prevent them producing results that could lead to innovations with possible defence applications. The growing potential for synergies between civil and military research has been highlighted by the European Commission since 2013 and resonates even more strongly today, as the first fully fledged European defence research programme will be funded under the European Defence Fund from 2021. The importance of seeking complementarity and synergies with Horizon Europe, the next framework programme for research and innovation (2021–2027), so that the results of defence research also benefit civil research and vice versa, is particularly underlined in the multiannual financial framework proposal for 2021–2027. Under Horizon 2020 procedures, a declaration of the dual-use character of projects is based on an ethics self- assessment made by the entities applying for funding. The purpose of the present study is to provide an alternative approach that will facilitate the identification of dual-use research topics and projects the results of which could be applied by both security and defence stakeholders (including industry). The methodology applied for this purpose considers the key enabling technologies (KETs) that are the fundamental blocks for a range of goods and services in both the civil and the defence sectors and thus represent key innovation accelerators for industry. The analysis carried out here is intended to support future security and defence research programmes in their attempts to avoid duplication of investment and to promote synergies. Main findings This report builds upon previous work, in particular a recent inventory carried out by the authors (Bordin et al., 2019), which identified 349 security and defence projects funded by various Horizon 2020 programmes, of which 309 were evaluated to have a dual-use potential. It also relies on a study by Scalia et al. (2017), which established a list of 167 KET-related dual-use innovation fields, a set of which (38) was considered a

  • Technology Against Terrorism: Structuring Security (January 1992)
    Technology Against Terrorism: Structuring Security January 1992 OTA-ISC-511 NTIS order #PB92-152529 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Technology Against Terrorism: Structur- ing Security, OTA-ISC-511 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, January 1992). FOr sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop SS0p. Washington, D.C. 20402-9328 ISBN 0-16 -036061-7 Foreword Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, but it has become more prominent during the past two decades. Terrorist attacks have included not only political assassinations, but also large-scale attacks, often aimed at third parties, causing massive casualties. Two well-known examples are car bombings, employing hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, and attacks on commercial aircraft around the world. The U.S. Government and the American public became acutely aware of terrorism after the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in December 1988. The recent war in the Persian Gulf heightened fears of renewed terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, both overseas and at home. In 1989, because of growing concern over terrorist threats, several Senate Committees requested that OTA study the role of technology in fighting terrorism and the Federal effort in promoting related research and development. The requesting Committees were: Govern- mental Affairs; Foreign Relations (Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations); and Commerce, Science, and Transportation, together with its Subcommittee on Aviation. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence also endorsed the study. This report is the second and final one in response to these requests. The frost was transmitted to Congress in a classified version in September 1990.

The study was completed in March 2018 and accepted as doctoral thesis by the Department of Economics at the University of Munich. It consists of four distinct empirical analyses – two on the determinants of education and two on the determinants of occupational choice. For both choices, individual and institutional determinants are investigated. The econo- metric analyses are based on panel data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), historical census data of the Statistical Oice of the German Empire, historical maps and studies from Sering 1897, Verein für Socialpolitik 1883, Grossherzogliches Ministerium des Inneren 1883, Miaskowski 1882-1884, Fick 1895, and Kra 1930 which are combined with modern data from the German Statistical Oice and the BBSR.
