“The EU Cyber Resilience Challenge: A Joint PESCO Cooperative Approach” is the theme of the conference that will bring together, in Lisbon, on the 24th and 25th of May, all the cyber cluster projects integrated in the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) – and which is co-organized by idD Portugal Defence.

This conference will provide an opportunity to explore new ideas: from harmonizing requirements to delivering operational capabilities; from Research and Innovation to transformation; from Education, Training and Exercises to maintenance and operations support, reinforcing the complementarity of EU-NATO efforts in the fields of cybersecurity and cyber defence.

This event aims to provide an open and broad discussion forum, providing Industry and Academia with a unique opportunity to present and discuss new ideas, solutions and dual-use technological capabilities.

The themes and highlights of the conference will be discussed by an audience of policy makers and military decision makers, academics and industry, involving senior representatives of Member States and international organisations.
