The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a temporary situation when critical infrastructure (CI) operators had to operate with continuously changing conditions. The role of cyber infrastructure during pandemics, for example for the remote work or access to critical systems, has also changed.

"Critical infrastructure operators across Europe must prepare their facilities, equipment, and personnel to operate under more strenuous conditions in a warming climate. 

It is widely known that we are living through a historic moment in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), capturing the attention of the entire world with spectacular results across multiple application fields, especially in text and image generation.

"Risk and resilience are interconnected concepts. In fact, one of our goals in SUNRISE is to integrate resilience metrics with risk metrics.

The CROSSCON is a research project that targets developing research ideas into practical techniques and supporting prototypes, and the level of ambition is to validate results in lab conditions that are representative of a complex IoT system (i.e., technology readiness levels TRL 4 and TRL5).

In recent years, the development and refinement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have revolutionised various fields, including computer vision.

The fact than more and more Cyber-Physical or IoT systems are integrated in vehicle fleets, coupled with the growing connectivity of these devices, poses a higher risk of cyber attacks, due to the increased attack surface.

Cybersecurity ecosystem in EU is a hot topic, as it relates to the recent establishment of the EU Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), the Network of National Coordination Centres (NCCs) and the Cybersecurity Community (CC).

With the increased digitalization and adoption of cost-effective off-the-shelf components and cyber connectivity, Critical Infrastructures (CI) operators have benefited in many ways, but the attack surface has also become larger.

Four EU pilot projects were launched in 2019 (ECHO, SPARTA, CSEU, and CONCORDIA) with the focus on specific context of EU Regulation that is establishing the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), together with the Network of National Coordination Centers (NCCs), and Competence communit

There is an urgent need for highly skilled cybersecurity professionals, and at the same time there is an awareness gap and lack of integrated training modules on cybersecurity related aspects on all school levels.

While several application domains are exploiting the added-value of analytics over various datasets to obtain actionable insights and drive decision making, the public policy management domain has not yet taken advantage of the full potential of the aforementioned analytics and data models.

In the field of plant disease protection, many approaches exist, but all acknowledge the necessity of fast and accurate identification of the source in order to make the most efficient applications.

EU-funded researchers have developed a cloud-based platform to reduce energy use in buildings and battery energy storage systems to benefit end users and utility providers.
