This expert roundtable will explore how Research & Innovation (R&I) can significantly contribute to ensure European energy security and strengthen the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, in alignment with existing policies and measures.

The event draws from the recently published Independent Expert Study on Clean Energy R&I Opportunities, which aims to prioritise R&I actions that strengthen the EU's long-term energy security by addressing challenges within specific clean energy value chains.

The event will feature high-level speakers and experts. Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director of DG RTD Clean Planet, will open the event, introducing the objectives of the study. The panel will consist of distinguished experts from the European Commission and beyond. This gathering of experts ensures a thorough discussion on the role of R&I to ensure European energy security and the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, bridging strategic European perspectives with the detailed analysis presented in the study.

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.
