Lithuanian RDI Liaison Office (LINO) and Lithuanian NCPs would like to invite researchers and innovators from participating “Horizon Europe” countries to a pitching event on Cybersecurity (special focus on Post-Quantum Cryptography), with the aim of creating international consortiums for RDI projects. The event will be held fully online.

Each pitching participant will be invited to give a brief, 3-5 minute presentation (with 1-3 slides) introducing their work and the types of partnerships they would be interested in.

The planned date for the event is 18 March 2025.

Interested participants are invited to get in touch with us via email to discuss further particularities: deimante.telycenaite@lmt.lt and agne.drumelyte@lmt.lt, or by filling in the event registration form .

Event description

Cybersecurity is an increasingly important topic driven by the growing need to reinforce Europe’s strategic autonomy as well as to ward off increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyberattacks. These challenges are fueled by the rapid development of technology and the complexities of the current geopolitical landscape.

One emerging solution is post-quantum cryptography—a technology designed to safeguard data against the immense computational power of quantum computers. Unlike traditional encryption methods, which quantum computers could easily breach, post-quantum cryptography offers advanced security measures to prepare for a future dominated by these super-powerful machines.

This event will focus on the future of Cybersecurity with an additional emphasis on Post-Quantum Cryptography. The event is designed to bring together researchers and innovators to discuss possible collaboration in the realm of cybersecurity and post-quantum technologies. Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their project ideas.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with the forefront of Cybersecurity research and innovation, shape the future of secure digital environments, and take part in the EU’s efforts to stay ahead of the quantum revolution.
