Project Motivation

In November 2006 and April 2007, two workshops were held, mainly with EU and US Researchers engaged within ICT Trust, Security and Dependability (TSD), also with participation from Australian, Japanese and Canadian colleagues. The Workshops were highly successful in their mission of identifying and scoping research areas that require and will benefit from international collaboration between EU researchers and those within other industrialised nations.

The Workshop reports for these events can be found using the links below:

Following the success of these events, a Coordination Action (CA) proposal International Co-operation in Trustworthy, Secure and Dependable ICT infrastructures (INCO-TRUST) was submitted to the first call of EU ICT Framework Programme 7 on secure, dependable and trusted ICT global infrastructures and partnerships.

INCO-TRUST was one of four CA projects selected for funding from Call 1. Further information on the other selected projects can be found here. The project was fast-tracked to start on 1st January, 2008 and will run for a period of 30 months.
