CybserSec4Europe Project

In the context of the implementation of the cybersecurity strategy adopted by the European Commission, IRIT is selected as a partner competence center for the creation and management of one of the four pilot projects of a European competence network, in order to develop and implement a common roadmap for cybersecurity research and innovation in Europe.

The CyberSec4Europe project is led by a consortium of 43 partners and covers 22 European countries. IRIT is represented in this consortium by 4 of its teams (ARGOS, ICS, RMESS and SIERA).

We will explore many new avenues in cybersecurity, including basic research; demonstrators in application areas such as finance, health, smart city, transportation, and education; establishing a roadmap for research and innovation; creating ecosystems and building skills; developing standards and certifications; and designing and testing governance models.
CyberSec4Europe will also contribute to the implementation of key EU directives and regulations (NIS, RGPD, PSD2, European Cyber Security Act, …).

Note that IRIT is one of the very few UMR in France to be part of a consortium in this call. Indeed, in France, only Toulouse and two other cities contribute via research organizations to these four pilot projects!
