ESRIF stands for the "European Security Research and Innovation Forum". It is a European strategy group in the civil security research domain that was established in September 2007. Its main objective is to develop a mid and long term strategy for civil security research and innovation through public private dialogue by 2009. It delivered its Final Report in December 2009.
ESRIF was set up and supported by the EU Member States and the European Commission together. Its members represented three different interest groups ("stakeholders"):
- Those that will use and apply the achievements of security research – knowledge, technologies and products (often large systems): European, national and regional authorities, police, fire brigades, all kinds of emergency organisations and first responders, private and public operators of critical infrastructure etc. ("demand side");
- Those that perform security research and turn its outcome into technologies and products: universities, research establishments, industry, including SMEs ("supply side");
- And representatives of the citizens, often non governmental organisations or special think tanks, that are affected by both potential security incidents as well as the efforts to ensure their security ("civil society")
