October, the 15th, 2014.- Past 13th of October of 2014, the project FIRE organized its final conference in the MCE in Brussels under the title Industrial & Research Challenges arising from User Requirements in Trustworthy ICT: Pan-European analysis of ICT Security requirements from Finance, Healthcare, Energy, ICT and Governments. The event, in which the results of the projects were presented, gathered the most notorious stakeholders in Europe from the field of cybersecurity.
A step forward to bridge the gap between Researchers, Industry and End-users in the Trustworthy ICT field
FIRE publishes a research agenda that matches research priorities and end-users’ needs
Over the last number of years, citizens and European policy makers have recognized that Trustworthy ICT developments in Europe have been delivering outstanding state of the art scientific results which have stimulated interest throughout the world. However, the innovative projects are hard put to reach the market, because the gap between the industry roadmaps and the research activities being performed in institutes and academia is currently too wide.
FIRE aims to reduce this gap and recently issued a Research Agenda, which includes research topics, identifying suggested areas of research that address the main research needs of users. They have been identified by the user community and ICT suppliers and augmented by researchers, who have all participated in the review process. They are aimed at developing forward looking techniques and methodologies that can improve the overall Trustworthy ICT landscape. These topics have been validated by the FIRE Advisory Board and at regional validation workshops with over 150 stakeholders from industry, research and administration.
