Munich Security Conference (MSC) and Binding Hook proudly announce the AI-Cybersecurity Essay Prize Competition, inviting experts to explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence on cybersecurity.
This competition seeks insightful analyses on the implications for Europe and recommendations for policymakers, with an opportunity for winners to be recognized at an international forum.
On October 24-25, the annual ECCRI field trip brought the European Cybersecurity Fellows to Brussels for an intensive two-day agenda with key EU, NATO, and industry stakeholders. As the main highlight of the fellowship, this visit offered Fellows a chance to engage with officials, explore pressing cybersecurity issues, and deepen their understanding of policy dynamics.
ECCRI Virtual Research Workshops are back with a brilliant lineup of speakers for the Fall/Winter session (October 2024 – January 2025) calendar! This year we will tackle how emerging technologies put pressure on the international order and key pillars of democracy, such as human rights and the rule of law.
Recent years have seen various technological developments within the private sector -including artificial intelligence, surveillance technologies and offensive cyber capabilities- that offer potential advantages to modern democracies. Yet these developments also have consequences for and pose challenges to fundamental democratic values. This gives rise to a tension between the incentives states may have to exploit emerging technologies and the constraints imposed by ideas of democracy.
What line, if any, should be drawn between how democratic versus authoritarian states leverage emerging technologies? Is it desirable, or even possible, to build democratic values into emerging technologies by design? During the next four sessions, we engage with these questions and more, exploring themes such as cyber expertise and diplomacy, justice by design, trust and interdependence, and feminism in cyberspace. Be sure to tune in!
In a new report released today, ECCRI explores how states attach strategic value to digital technologies. Combining conceptual insights and practical applications, the report introduces and assesses a comprehensive framework designed to identify the strategic properties of critical and emerging technologies.
The European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative (ECCRI) welcomes Hannah-Sophie Weber as a new Junior Researcher and Magdalene Karalis as a new Content Manager to the organization.
From 16 to 17 May 2024, the ECCRI team and community members presented at REMIT’s 1st Conference at KU Leuven in Belgium.
