The latest working paper is built up on a mapping exercise carried out in 2016 about FP7 projects, which presented the reasoning for the development of a Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resillient Societies. It focuses on mapping H2020 projects funded under the 2014-2015 calls for proposals. The H2020 projects are complemented by capacity-building projects funded in 2014 and 2015 by the Internal Security Fund Programme.
