Athens Technology Center (ATC) is coordinating POLARIS, a new Horizon Europe project working to make digital cultural heritage technologies more accessible to libraries across Europe.

The EDMO BELUX 2.0 project has unveiled a major upgrade to its repository of fact-checks and investigative reports, offering website visitors, including citizens, researchers, and journalists, new ways to explore and understand the archive of fact-checking work produced during the EDMO BELUX and EDMO BELUX 2.0 project periods.

AI systems are increasingly used in areas where their decisions can have a direct impact on people and organisations. This makes it important not only to assess their technical performance, but also to understand whether they meet the needs and expectations of the people who use them. Through THEMIS 5.0 and FAITH, ATC has been working on this challenge from different perspectives, focusing in particular on the role of the user in the assessment of AI trustworthiness.

During ATC’s latest company-wide meeting, held on 9 July 2026 at the company’s offices, Eleni Tsalapati presented Personal Companion for Countering Disinformation, an AI-powered system developed by ATC as part of the EU-funded AI-CODE project.

CIRCAT Open Call 1 webinar registration is now open. The webinar is designed for organisations interested in applying to CIRCAT Open Call 1, focused on Penetration Testing Scenarios Development for Europe’s critical infrastructures.

The CIRCAT project (Cybersecurity Infrastructure Resilience, Collaboration, and Advanced Training) launched its Open Call 1 (Penetration Testing Scenarios Development) to support European organisations in strengthening cybersecurity resilience by defining and documenting realistic cyber threats against critical infrastructures.

CIRCAT is funded by the European Union under Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL). The project aims to enhance cybersecurity resilience for large industrial installations and sectors indicated as critical infrastructure sectors in NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) by leveraging AI-driven tools and processes.

SCAF-DOME is a short-term initiative funded under the Horizon Europe Programme and linked to the CyberSecDome framework, which advances cybersecurity through AI-enabled security capabilities and immersive incident investigation and response concepts.
