This shall contribute to strengthening the EU's cybersecurity capacity and tackling future cybersecurity challenges.

But what opportunities are there for R&I projects collaborate and contribute to these four key projects which will not only develop a sustainable European cybersecurity competence network, but will also implement a variety of tasks, e.g. cybersecurity demonstration cases (in eHealth, finance, telecommunications, smart cities, transportation, etc.), provide trainings and programmes to tackle the cybersecurity-skills gap in EU, etc.
