Kick-off Meeting – Interreg Europe CAMPUS
Between September 15 and 17, 2025, in Rennes, France, the Kick-off Meeting of the Interreg Europe CAMPUS project took place.
Digital campuses for European resilience
CAMPUS addresses digital resilience: the capacity of local and regional authorities (LRAs) to withstand, absorb and recover from disruptions caused by external digital threats or natural disasters, through the implementation of cybersecurity/resilience legislation, critical infrastructures and digital/cybersecurity skills.
The overall objective of CAMPUS is precisely to support partner territories in becoming more digitally resilient.
The overall objective of CAMPUS is to support partner territories to become more digitally resilient, taking into account the cross-cutting and multiple areas of cybersecurity.
CAMPUS starts from the hypothesis that the Digital Campus is a key tool for supporting European resilience, enabling local and regional authorities to create and strengthen an ecosystem that addresses the many current cyber challenges, in a complex regulatory, technological and geopolitical context.
CAMPUS brings together 10 partners from 7 countries, including 1 EU candidate country. They represent key policy actors: regional and local authorities, innovation agencies, digital innovation hubs and a university. The project approach is designed to move from territorial analysis to the identification and exchange of good practices, with the aim of linking challenges and policy solutions to achieve policy improvements.
CAMPUS will make digital resilience a central element of regional development. By exchanging practices and adapting the Cyber Campus model, partners will improve policies that help local authorities, businesses and public services cope with digital disruptions. The project will strengthen cybersecurity skills, support the creation of regional digital campuses and integrate crisis mitigation into policy instruments. As a result, European regions will be better prepared for cyber threats and natural disasters, reducing risks and costs in the long term.
A working group with representatives from academia and companies was set up at the launch of the CAMPUS programme in Rennes, France, and participated in meetings with stakeholders and project partners. The agenda included the Brittany Campus presentation, sessions with local top actors in the field of cybersecurity (Inria, Cyberschool, IRISA & SequoIA, La French Tech, Pôle d’Excellence Cyber), as well as exchanges of best practices and discussions applied to the future of digital resilience. The central moment was the panel discussion with Orange Cyberdefense, where innovative solutions for strengthening cybersecurity at regional and European level were debated.
