With the conclusion of COP26, all eyes are on how we can mitigate the effects of the climate crisis - which has already made extreme weather events and natural disasters more frequent. The European Research Executive Agency is managing projects that support citizens, first responders, and decision-makers to help our societies cope with these multiple crises and save lives.

October 2021 was Cybersecurity Month, the EU-wide campaign aimed at raising awareness on how we can be more cyber-secure. At the European Research Executive Agency, we manage numerous projects that support citizens, organisations, and businesses to stay safe, secure and shielded online.

The French Presidency of the European Council, alongside the European Commission, will host a security research event on the 1st and 2nd of March 2022. Relevant projects managed by the European Research Executive Agency will be showcased. More information, the agenda, and contact details are available on their website.
