The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a change in the way we operate. People and organizations became much more focused on protecting the health of themselves, their families and employees. In order to reduce physical contacts to a minimum, home-office measures began to be implemented wherever possible. This subsequently led to the mass deployment of processes and technology (video conferencing, remote access tools, etc.) even in organizations that hadn't been prepared for it. Neither on the part of employees/users nor processes. This presentation will look at how these changes turned out, how they were dealt with, and what we could take from the pandemic experience in terms of cybersecurity.

The presentation offers a complex view of the cohesion policy after 2021. In this contribution, you will learn more about the negotiations of the MFF, what kind of simplifications you may expect and what are the upcoming events in the negotiations. You will learn about the objectives and priorities of the European Commission and the possibilities for cumulative funding.
