The ERIC project aims to improve the care of patients before and after intensive medical treatment. Around 2.1 million patients are treated in intensive care units in Germany every year and almost half a million are ventilated. Intensive care treatment often leads to critical and stressful long-term consequences for patients and their relatives. The aim of the project is to apply scientific findings consistently and to connect patients to a new telemedical intensive care network.

The project ESPRI-ADEP has developed a procedure for the pseudonymized identification of personal data between the information systems of EU member states. With this procedure, it can be queried whether data on suspicious persons are available within the EU without disclosing the sensitive data themselves (hit/no hit procedure). The innovation: The algorithm is able to find names with a similar spelling as the one in the query, such as Thomas and Tomas, and can, therefore, also be used to identify duplicates in databases.

Based on the fit4sec project, the BERKoS project supports German actors in the formation of new research consortia. For this purpose, Fraunhofer FOKUS is realizing a platform, which helps users such as security authorities and companies to get an overview of the research and innovation landscape, to recognize innovation potentials faster and to find suitable partners more easily. The core element is the (further) development of a web-based platform (Topicmatcher), which will be extended with current information (e.g. topic areas, calls for proposals, project results) in various areas of civil security.

The goal of the project "The Order of the Security Market" (OSiMa) is to analyze forms of the good "security" and how they are (can or should be) organized and financed. Special emphasis is placed on the question of what contribution the private security industry can make from a regulatory perspective, within which framework new services and organizational forms of "protection and security" can emerge and how technological factors as well as trends and innovations affect (future) market development.
