Your expertise in cyber security is needed! Research groundbreaking innovations for internal and external security! We have already identified the most pressing research questions for you: on the basis of needs, monitoring and trend, scenario and foresight analyses.
We have thus identified the topics that could have disruptive potential in ten to 15 years’ time. You research these topics with a technology readiness level of one to four (TRL 1-4). This means that we finance and evaluate your innovation from the idea to the functioning laboratory test. Failure is possible. We know that. But we accept this risk. Innovative award procedures make this possible. For example, PreCommercial Procurement (PCP), a pre-commercial procurement procedure that the Cyberagentur is using on a large scale for the first time in Germany. With this in mind: Apply!
