@CHESS_EU brokerage event The event (17.09.2026) 📷 With team members from the #CCAT, #QARC and #SECURE-NET, the event highlighted how experience and partnerships developed through @CHESS_EU are already feeding into new activities. Four years of collaboration have created strong links between academia, industry and the public sector in cybersecurity. The discussions showed how these connections can support further cooperation and new joint projects beyond the CHESS Cyber-Security Excellence Hub.
