Dear members of the SPARTA Governance –
As we are consolidating the inputs from all WP on the extension proposal, is appears there will be a need for an extension of governance activities.
We propose adding a new task consolidating all governance activities for the M36-M48 period, as described below. In this first draft we’ve tentatively included all participants, with a pro-rata effort: @all please review and confirm your interest. Of course any comments and feedback will be much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Florent.
Sustained Governance
• Type: New Task
* Potential participants: CEA, TNK, CETIC, BUT, FHG, TUM, IMT, CINI, CNR, ISCOM, L3CE, SMILE, ITTI, INOV
* New deliverables: D1.7: Sustained execution of the CCN, R, PU, M48, CEA
* New estimated PMs per participant:
* CEA: 12
* TNK: 1
* CETIC: 1
* BUT: 2
* FHG: 5
* TUM: 2
* IMT: 6
* CINI: 6
* CNR: 2
* ISCOM: 2
* L3CE: 6
* SMILE: 1
* ITTI: 4
* INOV: 2
• Summary: The new task is focused on the governance of the extended work in SPARTA. It will deliver practical analyses of governance issues in this period, aiming for impact on cybersecurity research policy designs, in particular in transitioning towards sustained operations in the ECCC and the NCCs.
• Motivation: The task will confirm SPARTA’s longstanding commitment to responsible and innovative governance throughout the project extension.
• Impact: The task is directly linked to the “Improving EU technological sovereignty in cybersecurity” and “European cybersecurity cooperation structures, approaches and actors” strategic axes identified by the Commission. In particular, it aims at these targets:
* Research of innovative ways to attract public and private funding investment in cybersecurity projects
* Supportive and community-oriented programmes for incubating and accelerating projects
* Identify priority policy areas to promote and reduce the EU dependency from non-EU research and innovation efforts
* Establishing joint taskforces across structures, ranging over the 3 pillars of cybersecurity: cybercrime, cyberdefense, and information systems security
* Establishing a Joint Strategic Oversight Committee, continuously evaluating the activities of taskforces, spinning up new taskforces with clear mandates, and shutting down obsolete ones
* Mapping out clear and efficient liaison contact points across various structures, with a special focus on regional contact points.

Subject: SPARTA - Extension
Dear all,
As discussed in last EB & SD calls, we will move forward w.r.t. the extension of SPARTA. For this, our first step will be to make a concrete proposition to our PO giving a rough idea of what we want to do and the necessary efforts. We, thus, propose that you, as WP leaders, start this discussion in your respective WP with its participants to propose suggestions for this extension.
For each suggestion, we propose to fill the small form below to have a quick view of the efforts, motivation and impact involved.
• Type: [Extension of Task / WP / New Task / New WP / …]
• Potential participants:
• New deliverables:
• New estimated PMs per participant:
• Summary: [Short and factual description of the new proposition]
• Motivation: [What will it bring to SPARTA?]
• Impact: [What will be the impact on SPARTA and more generally the cybersecurity ecosystem?]
• Strategic Planning: [How does it relate to the 9 axis and topic from the Strategic planning proposed by the Commission?]
As this matter is also linked with the self-assessment and suggestion we sent to the EC recently, we have also added a line to explicit this link. For this part you can find attached the latest version of the self-assessment that we sent to the EC.
We will fix a deadline for this at 30th June, after which we will filter and compile the proposition before discussing it with you and submitting it to the PO. If you have any additional question or remark concerning this, feel free to ask us.
Best regards,
Augustin.
