We want to bring to your attention an incredible opportunity carried out by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), and powered by project ECCO, led by ECSO.  


The ECCC is organising an Info Day on the open calls of the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) in Bucharest, Romania on 22 February.

In occasion of this gathering, Luca Tagliaretti, the newly appointed Executive Director of the ECCC, will welcome the attendees with opening remarks and an informative presentation on the structure of the ECCC. You will also get the chance to dwell in detail on the open calls of the DEP with dedicated informative sessions on the topics of the calls as well as to gather useful information on how to write a project proposal thanks to “tips and tricks” shared by representatives.

During the Info Day there will also be a dedicated moment to the introduction of the Network of National Coordination Centers (NCCs) where you will get in touch with the work of the several NCCs that work closely with the ECCC.

We invite you to register by visiting the registration page HERE or via the button below.
