A recent study by European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) investigated the feasibility of creating a large-scale European public infrastructure aimed at addressing vulnerabilities linked to the research, development, production and distribution of medicines.

On this basis, STOA is organising a panel discussion which will bring together experts from biomedical research, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, and EU and international public health experts. The aim is to discuss the state-of-play of the EU's current pharmaceutical strategy and explore policy options for strengthening EU preparedness and response, including the feasibility of creating an advanced EU pharmaceutical infrastructure for the research and development of novel medicines and treatments. The panel discussion will be moderated by Karin SIPIDO, Head of Experimental Cardiology at KU Leuven, and the panel includes representatives from the European Commission. You can follow remotely or you can join the debate live in Brussels.

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.
