Topics of Interest (Looking for Partners)

We are interested in the following Horizon Europe 2026 calls and are open to collaboration and consortium building. We are currently looking for partners with complementary expertise, including research organisations, technology providers, SMEs, industry stakeholders, and end-users.

Our interests cover security-critical software and hardware development, advanced and high-assurance cryptographic solutions, secure and trustworthy AI systems, AI-enabled advanced manufacturing, border surveillance and situational awareness, public health and behavioural interventions, as well as the prevention and countering of the misuse of emerging technologies for criminal purposes.

We aim to contribute with strong technical capacity, applied research experience, and operational perspective, while actively engaging in co-design, pilot activities, validation, and dissemination. We welcome partners with proven Horizon Europe experience as well as innovative newcomers.

We are happy to discuss collaboration opportunities, roles within the consortium, and potential synergies to build competitive and well-balanced proposals aligned with the expected impacts of the calls listed below.
