Project background

Critical infrastructures increasingly rely on digital systems and face complex cyber and hybrid threats. At the same time, knowledge on research, standards, and policies remains fragmented, making it difficult to use effectively in decision-making.

Project objectives

• Build a pan-European knowledge network for critical infrastructure protection
• Support policymaking with data-driven analysis and foresight
• Strengthen innovation and collaboration among stakeholders
• Enable better use of research results in practice

Project activities

The EU-CIP project

• collected and analysed information on research, technologies, and policies
• developed a FAIR-based data observatory and analytical methodology
• built a Knowledge Hub to centralise project results
• produced reports, studies, and sector-specific analyses
• provided innovation support, validation, and commercialisation services
• prganised events and built a European stakeholder ecosystem.

Consortium

The EU‑CIP project was carried out by an international consortium of around 19–20 organisations from several European countries. The partners represented research, industry, and public authorities, bringing strong expertise in critical infrastructure protection and EU-funded projects.
