The project Autonomous Swarm of Heterogeneous resources in infrastructure protection via threat prediction and prevention (TESTUDO) aims to ensure better critical infrastructure protection in view of today's societies confronting harsh political or environmental threats. The project will run for 36 months, until September 2026, while adopting three development circles, during which all phases will be concluded with the performance validation of every prototype, under the scope of an actual demonstration within the context of pilot use cases. TESTUDO unites a total of 20 partners from 10 EU and 2 non-EU countries.
The kick-off meeting was hosted by the project coordinator - CERTH at its premises in Thessaloniki on the 10th and the 11th of October 2023. The meeting was attended by European Commission representatives who welcomed the partners and presented useful information about the European Research Executive Agency’s overarching policy, with a particular focus on the “Civil Security for Society” initiative cluster to which the project belongs.
The Law and Internet Foundation was represented by Denitsa Kozhuharova, Head of the Human Rights Department, who delivered an “Ethics and Data Governance Guidelines” presentation.
