Programmes Digital EuropeThe Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) is an initiative designed to enhance the EU's
industrial competitiveness and reinforce European sovereignty by focusing on the development and
manufacturing of critical technologies. STEP aims to bolster investments within three strategic sectors:
STEP also supports projects growing the skills necessary to develop those critical technologies. STEP
introduces a new STEP Seal – an EU label for high quality projects granting STEP projects visibility and
facilitating their access to other possible sources of funding.
Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
