Step 5: Research Security Requirements

Research security requirements for Horizon Europe include: A focus on the protection of classified information and/or the potential need to classify research results. Security assessments that review the potential for activities, methods, technologies or knowledge to be misused for malevolent purposes and any other security concerns, including national security restrictions, not captured in other categories. During the proposal preparation stage, researcher applicants are required to complete a security self-assessment, which is included as part of the grant application. Depending on the nature of the specific funding opportunity or any concerns identified during the review of the self-assessments, an additional security review may be required. Security checks can also be conducted during or after the life of a project.
