Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 – point 6.1 – point 6.1.3 – paragraph 1
Europe's distinct historical, political, social and cultural system is increasingly confronted with the impact of global changes. In order to further develop its external action in its neighbourhood and beyond and its role as a global actor, Europe has to improve its capacities and knowledge base for defining, prioritising, explaining, assessing and promoting its policy objectives with other world regions and societies to further cooperation or prevent or solve conflicts. In this regard, it also has to improve its knowledge base regarding conflicts, the transformation of conflict and cooperation and the capacities for anticipating and responding to the evolution and impacts of globalisation. This requires a greater understanding of the history, cultures and political-economic systems of other world regions, as well as of the role and influence of transnational actors. Finally, Europe also has to contribute effectively to global governance in key domains like trade, development, work, economic cooperation, human rights, defenceconflict prevention, peacebuilding and security. This implies the potential to build new capacities whether in terms of tools, systems and instruments of analysis or in terms of diplomacy in formal and informal international arena with governmental and non governmental actors.

The coordinloser involvement of citizen's and civil society organisations and improvement ofpolitical, social and human sciences in the security research area will thus be an essential element and will help to map present research efforts, including foresight, and improve relevant legal conditions and procedures for coordination, including pre-normative activities. Activities will follow a mission- oriented approachand improve relevance of activities pursued and respect of fundamental rights and liberties of citizens. Activities will follow an approach which frames research within societal concerns and integrate the relevant societal dimensions. They will support the Union's policies for internal and external security, defence policies, and the relevant new provision of the Lisbon Treaty, and ensure cyber security, trust and privacy in the Digital single Market. The following specific objectives will be pursued:

New analytical instruments and concepts, technologies and dedicated capabilities will help to protect critical infrastructures, systems and services (including communications, transport, health, food, water, energy, logistic and supply chain, and environment).
