Clean air is a requirement for life, and the quality of indoor air is a health determinant since people spend most of their daily time indoors.

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.

Accelerators are essential for achieving optimal performance and energy efficiency in computing. However, market segmentation often leads to language lock-ins, limiting flexibility across accelerators and increasing development costs.

The SecureCyber Cluster Europe is a group of European Union-funded cybersecurity projects that collaborate to address cybersecurity challenges in various domains, including Internet of Things (IoT), smart grids, and more.

"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).

Self-Sovereign Identity can be considered as the most significant paradigm shift, surpassing the more established centralised and federated approaches that have shaped identity management in the past decades.

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.

In the context of EU Horizon 2020 CyberSec4Europe project the medical data exchange demonstrator creates a trusted ecosystem for sharing medical data in a secure and privacy preserving manner.

The BDVA position paper Current Hot Topics in Data Protection summarizes the latest and emerging challenges and developments in the field, with a focus on the European Union: "The new paper introduces pr
