The CODE 2021: Secure supply chains for digital sovereignty?

The pandemic has shown the importance of international supply chains and how dependent we are. Attacks in the virtual space may have an increasing impact on supplies in our analogue world. Reason enough for the Research Institute CODE (RI CODE) of the Universität der Bundeswehr München (UniBw M) to dedicate its annual conference “CODE 2021” to the theme “Supply Chain Sovereignty: Reality or Illusion?” and invite experts to look at the topic from different perspectives.

The EC-funded cyberwatching.eu project has made a significant impact in understanding cybersecurity R&I priorities and online solutions for SMEs across Europe.

European transition towards digitised and greener society & economy, is, to a great extent, facilitated by the EU’s achievements in science and research. Cybersecurity is not an exception! Cyberwatching.eu is ready to show you how the latest research in cybersecurity and privacy is adopted by European SMEs.

EU’s cybersecurity research and innovation play a crucial role in developing novel cybersecurity approaches and tools which strengthen the resilience of our companies and public administrations.

30/06/2021
