ECCC Info Day

The European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) is organising an informative and exclusive in-person event in Bucharest, Romania on 22 February 2024.

This full day event, powered by the project ECCO and strongly supported by ECSO, aims to facilitate the sharing of information on European cyber calls and funding opportunities, raise awareness on present and future calls involving relevant stakeholders and NCCs, and provide an opportunity for the general public to engage with representatives of the official bodies issuing these funding opportunities during panels and Q&A sessions. 

Participants who are interested in funding opportunities will be given the chance to pitch their project ideas.
