The overall objective of Research Infrasctructure Programme is to empower the European Union through world-class and accessible Research and Technology Infrastructures. These research infrastructures are important and crucial for enabling research and innovation and for stimulating multidisciplinary and data-intensive science.
The RI work programme under Horizon Europe will help to address the global environmental, social and economic challenges, in line with the renewed ERA, which requires an explicit contribution of research and technology infrastructures into Europe’s wider policy objectives, thus maximizing the contribution of science and technology to the needs of the society and increasing Europe’s competitiveness. In this regard, the European RIs will also contribute to the objectives of Horizon Europe clusters, missions and partnerships in Pillar II as well as to support its innovation part.
Partnerships unite the EC and private and/or public partners to work together in a specific domain. They offer often a good ecosystem to find collaborations.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
