The AEGIS project will discuss the current state of EU-US cybersecurity cooperation at the CONNECT University Summer School in Brussels on June 25. The consortium will be part of the “International cybersecurity challenges” session.

Project members will speak about each region´s priorities and highlight the areas where collaboration already exists.
