Product 1: Dual-Use Flagging and Pathways Model for HEU/EDF Integration

What it is: A standardized taxonomy and automated decision tree system that enables early identification and strategic routing of dual-use technologies across EU funding instruments.

Evaluator-recognized components:

  • HEU Project Screening Module: Integrates into existing Horizon Europe evaluation workflows, automatically flagging projects with defense/security potential during ethics screening

  • EDF Transition Pathways: Pre-mapped routes from civilian TRL 4-6 to defense TRL 7-9, with specific criteria for EDF eligibility assessment

  • Multi-Instrument Decision Matrix: Systematic framework determining optimal funding combinations (HEU + EDF, EIC + national programs) based on technology characteristics

  • Risk-Opportunity Balance Calculator: Quantified assessment balancing strategic value against governance complexity

Policy impact: Transforms ad-hoc dual-use identification into systematic capability, maximizing strategic value of €95+ billion HEU investment through coordinated civilian-defense development pathways.

Product 2: 6D Assessment Lens for Institutional Dual-Use Review

What it is: A streamlined, multi-dimensional assessment framework that institutions can embed directly into existing ethics and security review processes.

The Six Dimensions (HEU-compatible):

  1. Purpose clarity: Intended civilian applications and potential security/defense uses

  2. Unintended impacts: Systematic assessment of secondary applications and spillover effects

  3. Ease of misuse: Technical barriers to malicious application and required expertise levels

  4. Safeguards availability: Existing and implementable technical, legal, and procedural protections

  5. Openness requirements: Publication, sharing, and collaboration constraints across sectors

  6. Criticality assessment: Strategic importance for European technological sovereignty and security

Evaluator tools:

  • One-page assessment checklist for ethics review committees

  • Automated scoring algorithm providing standardized dual-use ratings

  • Governance recommendation engine suggesting appropriate oversight measures

  • Integration templates for existing institutional review workflows

Institutional benefit: Provides consistent, defensible methodology for dual-use assessment without requiring specialized expertise, reducing review burden while improving quality.

Product 3: Digital Orchestration Platform ("EU Language" Translator)

What it is: A comprehensive digital toolkit that helps SMEs, universities, and researchers translate technical innovations into evaluator-friendly language while identifying dual-use opportunities and governance requirements.

Core platform modules:

Technology Translation Engine:

  • Technical → Policy Language Converter: Automatically reformulates research descriptions using EU program terminology and evaluation criteria

  • Impact Prediction Models: Converts technical capabilities into anticipated societal, economic, and security outcomes

  • TRL Assessment Wizard: Guides accurate TRL assignment with supporting evidence templates

  • Application Portfolio Generator: Systematically identifies civilian, security, and defense applications from technical specifications

Dual-Use Pre-Mapping Tools:

  • Cross-Sector Opportunity Scanner: Identifies potential applications across agrifood, energy, infrastructure, and defense domains

  • Regulatory Pathway Navigator: Maps applicable export control, ethics, and governance requirements

  • Stakeholder Ecosystem Mapper: Identifies relevant end-users, customers, and partners across sectors

  • Funding Optimization Advisor: Recommends optimal funding instrument combinations based on technology characteristics and development stage

Governance Automation Suite:

  • Compliance Checklist Generator: Creates customized governance checklists based on technology assessment

  • Documentation Template Library: Provides standardized templates for dual-use governance documentation

  • Risk Management Workflow Builder: Designs appropriate oversight processes based on dual-use classification

  • Stakeholder Engagement Planner: Structures appropriate consultation and review processes
