Programmes Horizon Europe Digital EuropeThe threats to cybersecurity increase continuously, affecting all systems managing data and information that might be interesting for intruders. The Funding & Tenders (F&T) Portal hosts a wealth of interesting information that might be under threat if users do not take the necessary measures.
Therefore the European Commission decided in Q4-2022 to increase the security and stimulate users to switch to using two-factor authentication (instead of the simple user name – password). A log-in as user is required in the F&T portal when you want to register as an organisation or to enter into the management of your proposal/project.
This switch to two-factor authentication requires limited effort. You have to register a mobile device, app or USB security key and activate the two-factor authentication. At each login, you will then be prompted for your usual password and for a second factor that is sent to your phone, app or you'll have to enter your USB key. A short video guides you through the installation. There also is an FAQ page available.
Currently two-factor authorisation is used by less than 1% of the users, but it is a priority for the EC to increase the usage level. On a practical note: if you are planning on switching to a new phone in the near future (e.g. before summer), we would advise you to wait until then to activate the 2 factor authentication. In any other case, there is no reason to postpone the activation of the extra verification step.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
