FOCUS ({\textquotedblleft}Foresight Security Scenarios {\textendash} Mapping Research to a Comprehensive Approach to Exogenous EU Roles{\textquotedblright}) aims namely to define the most plausible threat scenarios that affect the {\textquotedblleft}borderline{\textquotedblright} between the EU{\textquoteright}s external and internal dimensions to security. This article presents scenarios about alternative futures of security research to support a comprehensive approach of the {\textquotedblleft}EU 2035{\textquotedblright} as a civil security provider. Three scenarios were selected as context scenarios for alternative futures of security research afterwards they have been lined up with drivers identified in a matrix procedure. From these three context scenarios six alternative futures for security research were evaluated using the portfolio-cluster-method. The weighting was done from a dual and interdependent perspective: a) nation/ member state vs. EU-level/international approach to civil security and b) position of the scenario on the continuum of internal/external security. Finally, the article introduces each scenario for alternative future of security research in detail.
