About: infrastructure Archives

A survey of European research infrastructures is set to consider the uniqueness of these structures in various disciplines, their openness of access and their financial importance.

Sticking to the subsidiarity principle, the Commission maintains that the main responsibility for protecting critical infrastructure lies with the owners and operators in member states.   

The challenges for European collective security and the potential
role of research and technology in protecting against terrorist
attacks was discussed by EU policy makers and
industrialists at a New Defence Agenda conference on 3
February 2005.
