SPS Key Priorities

With the exception of Computer Networking Support, all other activities funded under the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme must address Key Priorities that fall under two broad categories:

- Defence against terrorism;
- Countering other threats to security.

SPS Key Priorities are currently under revision. It is recommended that all new applications be submitted in line with the revised priorities, which are expected to be announced during March 2010.

Computer Networking Support for Partner countries

Computer Networking Grants support a more generalized need in Partner Countries than is represented by the Key Priorities.
The objective of the Computer Networking Support is to advance electronic communications in Partner countries. The Networking Infrastructure Grants help to improve the Internet connectivity of research and educational institutes in Partner countries and to enable their staff and students in developing and maintaining contacts with the international scientific community.
