The FORWARD project blog

The ICT Fair for Trust & Security Research will be held in Olomouc, the Czech Republic, on 14 May 2009. The ICT Fair is an event promoted by the Olomouc Region, the Czech Republic, in cooperation with the European Commission and is associated with the official program of the Semester of the Czech Presidency to the EU Council. The Fair is a unique opportunity for getting practical hands-on information and concrete advice on how to become involved in EU’s FP7 research activities.

The event is aimed at fostering partnership and stimulating scientific discussions about research priorities in the area of ICT Trust and Security in view of the upcoming FP7 call for proposals that will be launched in the summer. One of the objectives of the Fair is to stimulate participation to EU-funded research (FP7) in the area of ICT Trust and Security from partners from Central and Eastern European Countries. The Institute for Parallel Processing – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IPP-BAS) organizes and chairs the Thematic Session “Secure & Trustworthy Network Infrastructures”. We have speakers from several ongoing FP7 projects on Security and Critical Infrastructures: WOMBAT, INSPIRE, INTERSECTION, as well as representatives from NASK/CERT Polska, Palacky University, and IPP-BAS. They will present their current research activities and the opportunities for future research in the field of ICT Trust & Security.

The project participants from Central and Eastern European EU Member States (EU12) will share their experience and success stories from past EU-funded projects. The session also aims at stimulating discussion on emerging research challenges in the area and exchange ideas for potential proposals for the upcoming call and partnership building among participants in view of the formation of project consortia. Those who are looking for new research opportunities and are willing to participate in the Thematic Session and the ICT Fair can visit the website and register for the event. We are looking forward to seeing you in Olomouc.
