SHINE 2Europe is a proud partner in the CO-SECUR project, funded with 2 million euros by the Horizon Europe programme of the European Commission, that uses social innovation to build a comprehensive portfolio of European security initiatives for public spaces.
Security is a top priority of the EU’s political agenda as cities across Europe face pressing security challenges. These challenges are increasingly complex, ranging from terrorism and organised crime to political and economic unrest, natural disasters or crowded spaces. However, the right to be protected is one of the basic rights of citizens.
In this context, CO-SECUR aims to advance the adoption of successful, more effective and co-produced security protocols and solutions for public spaces, with a special focus on mass events and crowded places. CO-SECUR will bring together knowledge on social innovation in the field of security, contributing to build trust, acceptance, improving security and security perception, as well as promoting safer conducts.
