EU project GEIGER successfully closed!

We are happy, that we could finish our very promising GEIGER Project (https://www.cyber-geiger.eu/) founded from the EU via Horizon 2020 research program.

The GEIGER project was a 4 million Euro, multi-year research project with 17 partners from 9 different countries with the aim to increase the cybersecurity of micro enterprises. At the project end, we presented the results to the European Commission in Brussels in January 2023. The presentation and the first feedback from the reviewers was very good.

Now we have reached another important milestone in the project completion – the EU review report. We are delighted with the Commission’s highly positive assessment.

The project has in the view of the reviewers delivered an outstanding results in terms of software, scientific publications and training ecosystem. The innovation delivered by GEIGER that has been especially recognized is the ability to propose and execute security trainings during the exposure evaluation phase. Overall, it was appreciated that the trainings are offered to different categories of EU citizens with different level of education thereby creating very positive impact on society.

We have succeeded in positioning our university, the FHNW and our competence center as a competent, efficient and committed research partner and coordinator at the European Commission. This very pleasing result recommends our research team for further great research and results. We are already looking forward to future similar projects around cybersecurity and small businesses.
