We are working with the Georgia Tech Research Institute (http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/) on pre-award contracting activity for a grant with the United States Department of Homeland Security that requires international collaboration. After visiting your web site, we believe you and/or your institution might be a great value add to our team. I've inserted a brief description of the program below for your review. If interested, please reply to adam AT hunterwellman.com for more detail on our team and approach. It is a great opportunity to develop an international partnership for this and other funding opportunities!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate is soliciting applications for international research projects aligned with the mission and requirements of DHS S&T. These projects should be designed to augment and complement, through international research and collaboration, the depth and breadth of homeland security science and technology research. Specifically, the S&T Directorate seeks proposals that will contribute to homeland security science and technology, including but not limited to:
* Evaluation of novel tools or approaches to confronting homeland security challenges;
* Basic research to provide data, understandings, or models that support S&T efforts or policy decisions; and
* S&T and operations research evaluations to support revolutionary improvements in DHS's mission and its component agencies' operations.

Oon 8th October 2008 in Essen there will be an brokerage event in the area of security/safety during the international fair "SECURITY 2008" (http://www.security-messe.de/).
We, Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum, as partner of an European network called "Enterprise Europe Network" ( former Innovation Relay Centre IRC) are actively involved in the organisation and the dissemination of the event to bring together SMEs, RTDs or large companies for technology transfer and to find partners for European funded projects. As one of the main targets of Secure-Force is to involve SMEs an European funded projects this event could be a good opportunity for your clients to find proposals/consortia to be involved in.

Therefor please find attached a short flyer for the brokerage event which will take place on 8th October 2008 in Essen (http://www.enterprise-europe-network.ec.europa.eu/public/bemt/home.cfm?e...). In the flyer you will find further information on
- how to register (as a client)
- target groups
- registration form

It would be very helpful if you could disseminate this event to your clients and through local partners which could be interested.
If some of you aren't familiar with the procedures of brokerage events organized within the Enterprise Europe Network please let me know so I can give you further information and assisted you in the registration/validation process.
As within Secure-Force will still need SMEs to be involved in EU-funded projects I think this could be a good opportunity to find consortia or project ideas for our clients.

Each presenter of a proposal idea has a maximum of two minutes to explain the objectives, topic addressed, the consortium, the type of partner sought for his proposal and give his contact details using a two slides maximum presentation (in PDF format).

A maximum of 40 proposal ideas will be accepted and the selection will be made on a first come, first serve basis.

CONTACTS:

Security Objective

The objectives of the Security theme are:

• to develop technologies and knowledge needed to ensure the security of citizens from threats such as terrorism and (organised) crime, natural disasters and industrial accidents while respecting fundamental human rights;
• to ensure optimal and concerted use of available and evolving technologies to the benefit of civil European security;
• to stimulate the cooperation of providers and users for civil security solutions; improving the competitiveness of the European security industry and delivering mission-oriented results to reduce security gaps.

Why is it important?

Security related research is an important building block for supporting European freedom, security and justice. It will also contribute to developing technologies and capabilities in support of other European Community policies in areas such as transport, civil protection, energy, environment and health.

What will be funded?

Emphasis will be given to the following activities:

FP7 Security Info Day - 15 September 2008
Avenue d'Auderghem 45, Breydel Auditorium, 1040, Brussels A new Call for Proposals for Security Research (FP7-SEC-2009-1) under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) is planned to be published on 4 September 2008.

In order to support the preparation of proposals, the Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry (DG ENTR) of the European Commission is holding an Information Day on 15 September 2008 in the Breydel building, Avenue d'Auderghem 45, in Brussels.

The Info Day will be relocated to other premises, just 400 meters away.
The new venue is the "Centre de Conférences Albert Borschette" (CCAB), Room 0D, situated Rue Froissart 36, at 1040 Brussels (down the bottom/centre on the attached map).

Brokerage Events 8-Oct-2008 Essen
With some 40,000 trade visitors from 79 countries and an exhibition area extended to over 75,000 m² SECURITY Essen, the world fair for security and fire prevention, recorded its best result so far in 2006 and clearly increased its lead as the world's No. 1 fair in this branch of industry. 1,027 exhibitors from 47 countries presented their products and services at the last edition of SECURITY Essen 2006.

At the coming SECURITY Essen in October 2008 the Enterprise Europe Network North Rhine-Westphalia organises a matchmaking event at the NRW joint stand (Hall 7) on 8 October. This Brokerage Event is strongly supported by the Sector Group Security and Defence within Enterprise Europe Network. Companies and researchers are welcome to join.
The matching will be organised prior to the fair on the basis of the participants´ co-operation profiles. These profiles are compiled in a catalogue from which the participants select the ones of interest to them. The Enterprise Europe Network will coordinate these requests and draw up individual meeting schedules. The participants will be brought together for bilateral meetings on 8 October.
Target groups are companies, universities and research institutes with an interest in technology co-operation in the area of safety and security.

The Third European Security Research Conference (SRC’08) will be held in Paris on 29 and 30 September 2008. Organised under the French Presidency of the European Union, this event will bring together more than 1,200 representatives from the worlds of research, industry and European institutions. SRC’08 is organized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Ministry of the Interior, Overseas Territories and Local Authorities and the Ministry of Defence with the support of the European Commission.

The main objective of SRC’08 will be to showcase the concrete implications of security research for citizens on the one hand and to stress the need to bring together research and innovation offers and security needs and the market on the other hand.

This conference, which is also part of the actions undertaken under the European Security Research Programme (ESRP) of the 7^th Framework programme (FP7), will be opened by European authorities representing the Commission and the Parliament as well as by the Ministers in charge of research and domestic security (depending on interventions by other authorities).

Forum Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) 2008 – Space in the service of the environment and security      2008-09-16 - 2008-09-17      Lille - Palais des congrès

The European Union and its member states have been working for 10 years on a major public initiative to provide information on the environment and safety : for better husbandry of the planet’s resources, improved understanding and knowledge to help in decision-making, advance warning of any threat to the safety of the population and ways of reacting more effectively.

As a part of its forthcoming Presidency of the European Union, France and the European Commission are jointly organising a Forum to mark the launch of the first GMES services in pre-operational mode.

These services include fields such as territorial management, the marine environment, air quality and emergency situations, whether created by natural disasters or human activity.

 The GMES Forum 2008 is intended to present GMES and its earliest services both to end-users and to the intermediary companies providing services based on this type of information and wishing to use the results of this public investment to develop new markets.
