The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) “Trakia” is pleased to invite you to participate in the special consulting event “European Digital Innovation Days in Scientific Research”, which will take place on March 4-5, 2024, at Trakia University – Stara Zagora.
These consulting events are designed for scientific researchers, PhD students, cybersecurity and digitalization experts, technology sector companies, innovative startups, innovation centers, digital hubs, and representatives of research institutions actively engaged in scientific research, innovation, and technology development.
The primary goal of the event is to bring together leading experts and representatives from various organizations seeking to enhance scientific processes and digitally modernize research practices.
Why is digitization and cybersecurity important for scientific research?
Digitalization is transforming scientific research by introducing new methods for data collection, analysis, and storage, improving efficiency and accelerating discoveries. Cybersecurity, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in protecting intellectual property and confidential information, which are key assets of research organizations. In this context, protection against cyber threats is an essential part of modern digitalization efforts, ensuring the security of scientific developments and technologies.

Over the two-day event, participants will have the opportunity to:
✅ Gain access to cutting-edge developments and solutions in digital transformation and cybersecurity, specifically tailored for the research sector.
✅ Discuss current challenges faced by research organizations and explore strategies for enhancing digital security.
✅ Learn about EU-funded technologies, tools, and projects that can accelerate and streamline scientific research.
✅ Explore funding opportunities through EU programs and grants related to innovation and digitalization.
✅ Build partnerships and collaborations between research institutions, tech companies, and innovation centers to establish a sustainable and secure digital research environment.
✅ Participate in interactive panels and discussions with leading experts and industry representatives.
