Abstract: Abstract Although security was nominated as a distinct research and development (R&D) theme (European Security Research Programme, ESRP) in the Seventh European Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7), security and security-related research themes can be identified in numerous calls issued by other R&D priorities in the Cooperation program. For example, in energy, transport, health, etc., in addition to themes found in most of the other major FP7 Programmes (ideas, etc.), given the explicitly civilian character of European research, the introduction of ESRP stood as an “anomaly”. Yet, it appears that security considerations influenced other research priorities, thus apportioning a significant part of the civilian-aimed funds. Overall, this can be seen as an interim point where non-civilian R&D priorities initiated a process leading to the militarization of EU research. To show the above, we put forward a quantitative methodology making use of database analyses.
