European Security Research (ESR) - The Next Wave, Dublin 2015

Under the auspices of the National Standards Authority of Ireland, this Dublin event presents an opportunity for great engagement with experts from different backgrounds and understandings in the area of security research, be it from a standardisation, policy making, crisis and emergency first responder perspective or be it from the scientific and research community perspective.

Under the theme of ‘European Security Research – The Next Wave’, a common aim exists amongst us all – to learn from each other, to share and obtain a more in-depth understanding of important European security related issues, including big data and cyber security. Our challenge was to prepare the foundation for the perceived engagement so that the sharing of excellent knowledge and transfer will be realised. Importantly, the event is aimed at strengthening European project cross-fertilisation activities and the engagement with experts from the field of standardisation, emergency and crisis management as well as policy making.

In response, the ESRDublin2015 organisation committee firmly believes that we have designed a dynamic, engaging and highly interactive event that will encourage good collaboration and interaction over the 3 days to be realized. Ultimately, we anticipate that the event will make a positive contribution towards European security research and cross-fertilisation with standardisation experts and first responders.
