ERNCIP - European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection
Since 2011, the JRC established the European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection (ERNCIP), engaging over 900 experts to strengthen Europe's infrastructure via collaboration, standardization, and security measures.
Working in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders, the network aimed to improve the availability of security solutions through common European testing standards, harmonisation of test methodologies and common user guidelines on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) and technological-related domains mainly.
Several technical recommendations and scientific papers have been developed by the ERNCIP community, focusing on security-related aspects, emphasising the role of expert networks in enhancing critical infrastructure protection and resilience.
