Lead co-ordinator, Professor Dr. Kai Rannenberg, Goethe University Frankfurt, says:“CyberSec4Europe formed as a strong consortium with partners in 20 EU Member States and two Associated Countries, who aimed to not only strengthen the EU position in cybersecurity but also to enhance the concept of European cybersecurity by keeping it connected with European values like freedom and respect for the individual as well as protection for the most vulnerable, when they most need it. In a nutshell the purpose of Momentum! is to celebrate the breadth and creativity of the many approaches to advancing the European cybersecurity agenda and to demonstrate how Europe will positively protect its citizens and society over the coming years.”
