    What this call funds

    This call funds cybersecurity projects tackling specific technical challenges such as compliance audits, industrial penetration testing, vulnerability pipelines, threat detection telemetry, cyber range emulation, and infrastructure automation. Selected teams run a 9 month programme structured in three sprints, moving from onboarding through implementation to final delivery. It targets practical, deployable tools and testbed experiments rather than early stage research.
