The scope of the proposal is to strengthen the interaction between the areas of education-research-industry in Europe, leveraging on past activities already undertaken in this field, in order to consolidate a strong EGNSS knowledge triangle, i.e. a solid network for the creation of a critical mass involving the relevant actors in the three areas with the final objective of supporting the European economy development. The project approach is in line with the general policy of the H2020 programme, for the capacity building and critical mass creation in strategic areas, so to increase Europe competitiveness and attract investments from outside Europe. In GNSS this can only be realized by investing on a strong coordination between science and industry to fill the gap with respect to other areas of the world. Indeed the poor links between Industry and Research in Europe versus e.g. the US is permanently quoted as one of the reason of the constraints on innovation With respect to previous projects in the field (ERIG, G-TRAIN, GENIUS), the focus will be more on the innovation transfer to the industry field, the support to the creation of innovative downstream applications and the consolidation of the links and of the initiatives beyond the project duration.

CyberAgent aims to create a platform for the target group to acquire sustainable cybersecurity and entrepreneurial knowledge and competences to inspire, empower, up-skill, re-skill and engage SME employees taking the role as Cyber Security Change Agents and involve more women in the IT sector. It will facilitate the development of collaborations between HEIs, VETs, and SMEs and operate as a platform for the sharing of best practices between players involved in cybersecurity and the labor market. Additionally, it intends to improve the employability of the target groups, support SMEs in building their cyber resilience, preserve their reputation and competitiveness, and raise organizational cybersecurity maturity and culture.The main beneficiaries affected by the project are SME employees, in particular women, who need to be upskilled in order to play the role of a change agent in SME cybersecurity. Secondary target groups are HEIs, VETs, who will be able to implement the training content in their institutions, while HEIs students and VETs trainees will be able to use the developed content.The up-to-date curricula and content of 8 training modules (including technical, analytical, risk management and organisational skills) for HEIs and VETs, which will be available on an online platform and may be utilized for blended learning, is part of 6 WPs that are planned. Project results will be piloted with at least 80 participants, including at least 30 women, from 8 countries, and will be attended by 24 VET trainers and 10 HEI teachers. Project results will be freely available to all during and after the project end. Within 3 years after the project's end, training course will be offered to at least 800 more SME workers working in 100 SMEs in the partner countries. The EN versions will be used for dissemination in other European countries to expand further the localisation base.

C3PO: advanced Concept for laser uplink/ downlink CommuniCation with sPace Objects represents a radical improvement in performance of existing ground to low earth orbit communication systems in terms of weight reduction, on-board power consumption, data rate and communication security & confidentiality. C3PO in figures: - Mass reduction by a factor 14 - On-board power consumption reduction by a factor 100 - Data rate increase by a factor 2 The project's objectives are to - Design a solution to improve actual downlink and uplink communication systems based on a non-space disruptive technology - Improve enabling Space Surveillance & Tracking technologies performances to meet the final system needs - Increase the Multiple Quantum Well Technology Readiness Level from 2 to 4 - Improve the overall perfromance of space communication systems - Identify the C3PO system market and Business Model - Increase the system safety (including regulation and governance issues) This is achieved through an operational analysis of the final system, the validation of major system parameters through 2 experiments, the consolidation of the system architecturen the elaboration of the associated development roadmap and the definition of the system Business Model. The Multiple Quantum Well retro-reflector technology, derived from non-space domain, is incorporated into the current state of the art as a high-rate lightweight communication device. Its development in the space sector has a disruptive impact on the satellites and satellite imagery markets, enabling new missions such as CubeSat earth observations. The proposed project serve the Union's Common Security & Defence Policy by increasing the satellite communications security. C3PO mobilises traditional space actors and non-space actors such as TEMATYS (SME) and ACREO (Research).
