ECCC Info Day Webinar on 1 June focuses on DEP funding opportunities. Discuss key calls, and pitch ideas to European funding bodies. Register and submit pitches by 30 May.
The first event of the ECCC Info Days series, organised by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre and powered by the European Cybersecurity Community project (ECCO), will take place on 1 June 2023 in the form of a webinar.
The goal of the Info Days series is to disseminate information on important European calls and financing opportunities from Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme (DEP). This event will enhance networking in the European cybersecurity sector and the formation of consortia to answer EU calls successfully by providing a setting in which interested parties can come together to discuss the three main calls of the Digital Europe Programme that are opening on 25th May and closing on 6th July:
- EU Cybersecurity Resilience, Coordination and Cybersecurity Ranges
- Capacity Building of Security Operation Centres
- Uptake of Innovative Cybersecurity Solutions
Are you interested to learn more about funding opportunities? We welcome you to register as an attendee to the webinar HERE.
In addition to exchanging knowledge on these three crucial areas of the European cybersecurity sector, the webinar will provide an online venue for cybersecurity businesses that have developed novel products or solutions to pitch their ideas in front of representatives from official European funding bodies.
Interested participants are invited to submit their pitches to infodays(at)list.cyber-ecco.eu, following the instructions below.
Application procedure & criteria for pitching in the Info Days webinar:

- Participants are invited to indicate their interest and send their pitch slides by 30 May to infodays@list.cyber-ecco.eu, keeping in mind that pitches received after the deadline might not be considered for the event.
