Executive Summary
This deliverable outlines the finalizing and execution of strategy and activities for establishing the CyberSEAS Stakeholder Community and for clustering with other relevant projects and initiatives. It provides clear evidence of the operating and building a robust Stakeholder Community, including identifying various dissemination channels for the exchange of collective intelligence.
The report D8.1 offered a detailed analysis of ongoing projects and initiatives, identifying potential connection points and opportunities for collaboration. The latter part of the initial report presented a plan and actionable steps for building an extensive network of operators, with the capacity to integrate external project outcomes into this network. The creation of the Stakeholder Community and the identification of clustering opportunities have been closely linked to the development of strategies and activities for dissemination within the CyberSEAS project, highlighting the importance of close collaboration with scientific and professional communities in the EPES sector.
This D8.2 report builds upon and significantly extends the groundwork laid in the D8.1 report, which initially set the planning foundations for the establishment of the CyberSEAS Stakeholder Community and also framework for clustering with other relevant projects and initiatives, forming the strategic backbone of the CyberSEAS project’s outreach and collaboration efforts.
In this final iteration of the report, we delve deeply into the concrete activities that were executed over the course of the project. These activities represent the culmination of extensive and coordinated efforts by the project partners, aiming to foster a vibrant and engaged stakeholder community. The report meticulously documents the outcomes of these efforts, providing a comprehensive account of the technological advancements and process improvements achieved.
Moreover, the report emphasizes the key findings derived from a series of quantitative and qualitative studies, surveys, and inquiries. These were conducted with active participation from the CyberSEAS Stakeholder Community and were instrumental in guiding the project’s trajectory. The feedback gathered through these channels provided critical insights that informed the adaptation and refinement of the project’s technological and process solutions. These adjustments ensured that the project outcomes were not only aligned with but also highly responsive to the real-world needs of the EPES (Electrical Power and Energy Systems) environment.
This report also introduces new chapters and content that were not present in the D8.1 report. These additions are clearly marked to distinguish them from the foundational information presented earlier. By doing so, readers can easily identify the innovations and developments that have emerged in the latter stages of the project. The new sections provide updated insights and reflections on the progress made, the challenges encountered, and the strategies employed to overcome them.
Additionally, the report addresses the sustainability of the CyberSEAS Stakeholder Community and its activities beyond the project’s official timeline. It outlines the steps taken to ensure that the collaborations, knowledge exchange, and community building efforts initiated during the project will continue to evolve and flourish. This forward-looking approach underscores the project’s commitment to fostering a long-term culture of cyber-resilience within the EPES sector.
In summary, this D8.2 report not only serves as a comprehensive documentation of the activities and achievements of the CyberSEAS project but also as a strategic guide for sustaining and expanding the impact of these efforts in the future. The report’s detailed account of the new chapters, combined with the analysis of key findings and the emphasis on post-project sustainability, makes it an essential resource for stakeholders involved in the ongoing development of cyber-resilient energy systems.
