Programmes FET
“This booklet provides a snapshot of the first 30 years of FET. It explains the evolution of the programme, through testimonials of some of the people who shaped its policy aspects, examples of projects and their impact on technology and economy, and profiles of FET researchers, who have been listening out for “voices from the future”.” This publication was produced under the FETFX project, the Coordination and Support Action dedicated to communication and outreach of the Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies programme, with specific focus to FET Open and FET Proactive, now part of the Enhanced European Innovation Council Pilot (specifically the Pathfinder).

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.
