R&I observatory

ENISA scans the research and innovation landscape and the horizon to assess trends and gaps, identify needs and define priorities to address emerging challenges and cyber threats, through the development of knowledge, cybersecurity technology and solutions.

In 2019, ENISA received a new mandate under the EU Cybersecurity Act, which includes a new role in cybersecurity research and innovation. The Agency conducts various annual assessment activities through its Research and Innovation Observatory and maintains a continuous and constructive dialogue with members from the different quadrants of the community and industry. The results from these activities are used to advise stakeholders and contribute to the discussions on the EU Research and Innovation Agenda.
