National Research Development Programme KIRAS (Security research program) Austria
Established in 2005 by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology; KIRAS was the first national security research programme within the EU. The name originates from ancient Greek and combines the words "kirkos" (circle - being a metaphor for the holistic concept behind KIRAS) and "asphaleia" (security).
