The core task of the research cluster Civil Security for Society is to efficiently counter the rapidly increasing security threats to the citizens of Europe. Terrorist attacks, organized crime, illegal immigration, cyber attacks as well as natural and man-made disasters are putting increasing pressure on European society. In addition to technological solutions, especially against the threats of an increasingly complex and digitized society, social, cultural, historically evolved behaviour as well as ethical aspects of a balance between security and freedom must be taken into account in security research. In addition, Europe must guarantee its independence from safety-critical technologies.
