The EU-CIP project is happy to announce that it has begun a cooperation with Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Europe (CIPRE). CIPRE is holding an annual conference bringing together leading stakeholders from industry, operators, agencies, and governments to collaborate on securing Europe and has an extensive network of stakeholders focusing on critical infrastructure protection and resilience. This cooperation will allow both parties to better serve the needs of the CIP/CIR community, grow their networks and support a broad ecosystem of stakeholders who can benefit from the research and services offered by the EU-CIP project.

As a first step, EU-CIP will be presented at CIPRE 2023 which will take place from 3-5 October 2023 in Prague, Czech Republic. The preliminary conference guide is available here. The EU-CIP Coordinator will participate in the Horizon Projects Overview session, on Thursday October 5th, 2023 and present the objectives and work of the project. At the same time, EU-CIP will be present at the conference with a tabletop including information about the project, its knowledge hub, research activities and innovation support services.

CIPRE representatives will also attend the 1st EU-CIP Annual Conference on 20-21 September 2023 in Brussels and inform participants about their activities and the added value of their conference. We encourage all CIP/CIR stakeholders to join CIPRE 2023 and join the discussion on securing Europe.
