The FORESIGHT project aims to develop a federated cyber-range solution to enhance the preparedness of cyber-security professionals at all levels and advance their skills towards preventing, detecting, reacting and mitigating sophisticated cyber-attacks. This is achieved by delivering an ecosystem of networked realistic training and simulation platforms that collaboratively bring unique cyber-security aspects from the aviation, smart grid and naval domains. The proposed platform will extend the capabilities of existing cyber-ranges and will allow the creation of complex cross-domain/hybrid scenarios to be built jointly with the IoT domain. Emphasis is given on the design and implementation of realistic and dynamic scenarios that are based on identified and forecasted trends of cyber-attacks and vulnerabilities extracted from cyber-threat intelligence gathered from the dark web; this will enable cyber-security professionals to rapidly adapt to an evolving threat landscape. The development of advanced risk analysis and econometric models will prove to be valuable in estimating the impact of cyber-risks, selecting the most appropriate and affordable security measures, and minimising the cost and time to recover from cyber-attacks. Innovative training curricula, guiding cyber-security professionals to implement and combine security measures using new technologies and established learning methodologies, will be created and employed for training needs; they will be linked to professional certification programs and be supported by learning platforms. Aside from the development of skills, the project aims at a holistic approach to cyber-threat management with the ultimate goal of cultivating a strong security culture. As such, the project puts considerable emphasis on research and development (i.e. research on cyber-threats, development of novel ideas, etc) as the key to increasing training dynamics and awareness methods for exceeding the rate of evolution of cyber-attackers

The main goal of EU-CIP is to establish a novel pan European knowledge network for Resilient Infrastructures, which will enable policy makers to shape and produce data-driven evidence-based policies, while boosting the innovation capacity of Critical Infrastructures (CI) operators, authorities, and innovators (including SMEs). In this direction, the partners have already established the European Cluster for Securing Critical infrastructures (ECSCI), which brings together 22 projects that collaborate in CI Resilience. EU-CIP will leverage the capacity, organization, community, and achievements of the ECSCI cluster towards establishing an EU-wide knowledge network with advanced analytical and innovation support capabilities. The project’s analytics capabilities will fulfil the reporting requirements listed in the call in terms of the number and the (semestrial) frequency of the reports. To facilitate information collection and analysis, the project will establish a FAIR data observatory of research projects, research outcomes, technologies, standards, and policies. Along with analytical capabilities for evidence based policies, the project will organize and offer a rich set of innovation support services to EU projects and other innovators in CI security and resilience. These services will include training, support in business planning and access to finance, as well as support in the validation, standardization, and certification of novel solutions. The projects outcomes will be integrated and made available through a Knowledge Hub, which will provide a singly entry point to the EU-CIP results. EU-CIP will build a vibrant ecosystem of over 1000 stakeholders around this knowledge-hub. To animate and grow the project’s community, EU-CIP will execute an ambitious set of dissemination activities, including the establishment and organization of an annual conference on Critical Infrastructures Resilience, which will become a flagship event for critical infrastructures.

FASTNet belongs to working area WA5, addressing topic WA5.1 Fast-track innovation and uptake for capacity on demand and dynamic airspace and focusing on future data services and applications for airport and network. FASTNet proposes solutions that contribute to the evolution of ATM aviation into an integrated digital ecosystem characterised by distributed data services. This project aims at further enhancing the airports and network integration in tactical, pre-tactical and strategic planning through the development of the following two solutions: - Solution 1: Enhanced AOPs-NOP Tactical planning, with the inclusion of an “airport-to-airport(s)" AOP to AOP collaborative planning process and the use of artificial intelligence. The solution aims to extend the consolidated Demand and Capacity Balancing (DCB) process amongst airports and NM. In this context, it will include an “airport-to-airport(s)” collaborative planning process, prior to the “airport-to-network” process, for performance benefits of all connected airports and the network, such as improved punctuality, optimized use of ground and airspace capacity, thus leading to higher network efficiency. - Solution 2: AOP-NOP Strategic and pre-tactical planning. This solution aims to extend the timeframe of the AOP-NOP integration, focusing on the strategic (from months in advance until D-7) and pre-tactical (D-7; D-1) planning phases to ensure a smooth transition towards tactical phase with reduced adjustments. Both Solutions 1 and 2 involve the extension of state-of-the-art technologies to integrate new datasets available at local level, such as local restrictions, pre-tactical flight information and strategic local information in order to enrich DCB information and ensure efficient planning from the strategic phase.
