SUNRISE Physical General Assembly – Ljubljana

On February 14 and 15, 2024, the SUNRISE project held its in-person General Assembly meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, hosted by ICS Ljubljana.

The meeting focused on various updates and future plans, building on the project’s latest completed work. This included discussions on stakeholder workshops with the project’s end-users, SUNRISE technical tools, and the strategy for critical infrastructure (CI) operators.

Key updates from the GA meeting included the development of the SUNRISE strategy, informed by research from national and local workshops with critical infrastructure operators.

 

The workshop cluster leaders from Spain, Italy, and Slovenia looked ahead to the next round of national workshops scheduled for May 2024, along with an EU-level online workshop in June 2024. Partners also delved into the design of various SUNRISE tools, participating in a brainstorm session on their requirements and the implementation of the pilots.

Discussions also covered communication and dissemination topics, outlining plans for further promotion at conferences, seminars, and events, as well as through social media channels, the website, and newsletters.
