The event highlighted the European cybersecurity stakeholder community the progress that is being made in harnessing European expertise and resources in the broader context of the proposed legislation relating to a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and a Network of National Coordination Centres.

The Cyber Competence Network, comprising the four pilots CyberSec4Europe, SPARTA, CONCORDIA and ECHO, organised a two-day concertation event from 9-11 December hosted online with the friendly support of the Representation of the State of Hessen to the EU.

The program consisted of an introductory evening session with welcome addresses from the four pilot coordinators followed by a high-level panel discussion. The next one and a half days provided each pilot the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements and results to date through videos, presentations, tools, panel discussions, and also featured a series of focus groups that showcased the cooperation between the pilots on certain related cybersecurity topics.
