R2D2 will participate in the EUSEW 2025
The R²D² project is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2025, taking place in Brussels from June 10 to 12. As part of the Networking Village, R²D² will be present at booth C5, hosted by the project’s coordinator ETRA, offering attendees a closer look at its advanced tools to secure and strengthen Europe’s energy infrastructure.
R²D² is an Innovation Action designed to enhance the resilience, reliability, and security of today’s Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES). In the face of increasing threats—whether technical failures, physical attacks, or cyber incidents—R²D² is developing innovative solutions to prevent and mitigate vulnerabilities in these critical infrastructures.
Visitors to the booth will be able to explore four key tools developed by the project to support the prevention, protection, and restoration of EPES. These solutions are being deployed and validated in two distinct but complementary real-world scenarios:
• Regional coordination among Transmission System Operators (TSOs),
• Data privacy protection for low-voltage (LV) customers.
Both use cases reflect the project’s end-to-end approach to energy resilience—addressing security at both the grid and consumer levels.
The R²D² project plays an active role in reinforcing energy coordination in South-East Europe (SEE), in line with EU regulatory frameworks and the cybersecurity roadmap promoted by ENTSO-E for transmission systems. By combining advanced monitoring, predictive analytics, and incident response mechanisms, R²D² aims to strengthen the European energy system’s capacity to withstand and recover from disruptions.
EUSEW 2025, under the theme “Powering a fair and competitive green transition,” offers a key platform to engage with innovators and policymakers working toward a secure and sustainable energy future. R²D² is proud to contribute to this effort and looks forward to connecting with stakeholders from across the energy ecosystem.

BRIDGE Newsletter: R2D2 Advancing Cybersecurity in Energy Systems
BRIDGE Newsletter: R2D2 Advancing Cybersecurity in Energy Systems
The latest BRIDGE Newsletter explores how the R2D2 project is advancing state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions to strengthen the resilience and reliability of Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) in response to growing threats and vulnerabilities.
The featured article focuses on R2D2’s development of advanced tools designed to help EPES operators identify and address supply chain security gaps. These tools detect vulnerabilities and provide actionable insights, empowering organizations to mitigate risks, improve supply chain resilience, and contribute to a more secure energy ecosystem.
Among the key innovations is the R2D2 Self-Assessment Tool, part of the PRECOG solution (Prevention Systems for Energy Infrastructure Security). This tool enables EPES operators to evaluate their cybersecurity posture and take informed steps to enhance their defenses.

“Reliability, Resilience and Defense Technology for the Grid” R2D2 at the ECSCI Workshop
“Reliability, Resilience and Defense Technology for the Grid” R2D2 at the ECSCI Workshop
At the end of April, our partner, the University of Cyprus, hosted a dedicated session on the R2D2 project, focusing on Reliability, Resilience, and Defense Technology for the Grid. The session took place as part of the 3rd ECSCI (European Cluster for Securing Critical Infrastructures) Workshop on Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience.
This event provided a valuable opportunity to showcase the project’s progress in the area of secure and resilient energy systems, as well as its potential for real-world implementation.
The workshop brought together experts and projects working on integrated cyber and physical security across a range of critical sectors, including energy, transport, water supply and wastewater, healthcare, digital infrastructure, finance, space, and public administration. Each sector’s unique challenges in infrastructure protection were explored through the lens of participating projects from the ECSCI cluster, which shared their findings and addressed the technical, ethical, and societal dimensions of resilience and defense technologies.
Specifically, novel techniques were presented for integrated security modelling, IoT security, AI for securing critical infrastructures, distributed ledger technologies for secure information sharing, and automation for threat detection, prevention, and mitigation. Special attention was also given to how AI technologies can enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure.
The workshop featured keynote speeches, project presentations, roundtable and panel discussions, and thematic sessions. It was designed for a multidisciplinary audience, including researchers, cybersecurity and physical security professionals, industry stakeholders, and policymakers involved in safeguarding critical infrastructures across Europe.
