We are pleased to announce that eFORT is now a member of BRIDGE. This week, we will participate in the hybrid General Assembly for the first time. eFORT will be represented online by the coordinator CIRCE, SUITE5, RINA-C, and Smart Innovation Norway, and in Brussels by Elvira Sánchez from the European Network for Cyber Security.

BRIDGE is a European Commission initiative which brings together Horizon projects in the fields of Smart Grids, Digitalisation, Energy Storage and Islands to create a structured view of cross-cutting challenges to innovation. Since the establishment of BRIDGE, it has had more than 90 member projects.

As part of BRIDGE, the project representatives meet regularly to discuss and develop analyses and reports aimed at resolving common problems. The outputs also support the elaboration of EU directives.

Being part of BRIDGE is an exciting opportunity for eFORT to gain and exchange knowledge with other projects. eFORT will be represented in all four working groups: Business Models, Consumer and Citizen Engagement, Regulation and Data Management.

We are happy to announce that eFORT is now a member of the European Cluster for Securing Critical Infrastructures (ECSCI).

ECSCI creates synergies and fosters emerging disruptive solutions to security issues via cross-project collaboration and innovation. Its research activities focus on how to protect critical infrastructures and services, highlighting the different approaches between the clustered projects and establishing tight and productive connections with closely related and complementary EU Horizon projects.

One of the key components of eFORT is collaboration and engagement with relevant stakeholders, initiatives and projects. As part of ECSCI, the eFORT partners seek to collaborate with the cluster projects to reach our common goals and to maximise our impact.

The cluster has published joint scientific publications, open books, contributed to standards and regulations on critical infrastructures. It also organises national and international workshops.
