Science|Business will host a public conference on security-related aspects, bringing together members of its international Network, EU institutions, and key stakeholders from research, industry, and government.

The discussion will focus on the evolving European security landscape in light of recent geopolitical developments, and the implications for EU policy, research, and innovation. Topics will include the ReArm Europe Plan, the White Paper for European Defence – Readiness 2030, and related initiatives aimed at strengthening Europe’s defence capabilities and industrial base.

Participants will explore the following aspects:

  • What will define “secure” in Europe’s most important sectors in the short and medium term?
  • How can science and technology help the EU and its member states achieve that goal?
  • How will ReArm Europe/Readiness 2030 translate in terms of research and innovation priorities and funding?
  • From an implementation standpoint, how will the European Defence Fund and other instruments evolve? 
  • Looking at specific sectors, can the EU readiness and preparedness strategy provide a one-size-fits-all roof to address industry-specific security challenges? 
  • What are the critical actions needed to ensure the security of Europe’s R&I ecosystem itself?  

More information on the event and the possibility to register can be found on the event website.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
