ECSO will be partner of the upcoming SMI2G Brokerage 2024 Event, that will take place in Campus Cyber, Paris, on 22&23 May 2024. 

This event gathers European-wide innovators and practitioners. It focuses on connecting individuals who are actively seeking consortium partners and to bring their game-changing ideas and novel technologies to life, addressing the challenges outlined in Horizon Europe’s Civil Security for Society 2023-2024 Work Programme. 

The event will feature top-level keynote speeches, expert panel discussions as well as ground-breaking pitch sessions. It will offer significant networking opportunities and information on Horizon Europe Security Calls. 

For the first time, there will be a session including the DIGITAL Work Programme, hosted by the NCC-AT.
The presentation will showcase differences between Cyber Security Calls in CL3 and DIGITAL, while also underscoring synergies emerging from both programs. Pitches for both work programs are welcome.

The SMI2G brokerage event is organised by:  The EARTO Working Group Security and Defence research, the SEREN network, EOS, IMG-S, ECSO, CMINE and is supported by the Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche, Campus Cyber and ENLETS.
