Programmes

This MSCA lunchtime conversation session will focus on digital democracy and digital skills that citizens need to critically navigate the online public sphere. 

It will look into different aspects of democratic participation in the era of social media and online platforms exposed to fake news and dis/misinformation, and the role of artificial Intelligence in shaping the ways of consuming and creating content.

Like the first event, the second MSCA lunchtime conversation will bring together representatives of different Commission services and scientific leaders/coordinators of EU-funded projects to present their work on the topic and engage in an active discussion with each other and with the audience (individual researchers, project leaders, policy makers, practitioners, civil society representatives, interested citizens).

More information and the registration link is available in the announcement on the MSCA website.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
