• SECURITY-LINK brings together a unique
consortium from Linköping University (LiU) and
the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI),
together with complementary expertise from the
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and
Chalmers University of Technology.
• SECURITY-LINK covers the entire range of
technical domain priorities listed in the VINNOVA
NRA Security report: (i) communications, (ii)
signal and information technologies, (iii) artificial
intelligence and decision support, (iv) information
security technologies and (v) computing
technologies.
• SECURITY-LINK has extensive research
expertise, including biological/chemical
sensors,radar and optical sensors, sensor
networks, navigation and positioning techniques,
robust wireless communications, emergency and
crisis management, and risk analysis.
• SECURITY-LINK is a platform for strategic,
cross-disciplinary research, where the vision is
to create a world-leading and nationally
unexcelled research center in emergency and
crisis management, security, and infrastructure
protection
