The division of Physical Sciences of NWO (EW), the Ministry of Security and Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) Cyber Security Division (CSD), together will fund research in the field of cybersecurity. Three cybersecurity research projects with Dutch and American scientists will be funded up to a total amount of approximately € 1.3 million.

The Netherlands and the U.S. will each pay half. The funded project results should increase online and mobile security. By signing agreements associated with these projects, representatives of the subsidizing organizations from the Netherlands and the USA have ratified the cooperation. For more information about the projects, please click here.

The Cyber Security programme of NWO focuses on the development of products, services and knowledge for the security of the digital society. Cyber Security encourages collaboration between the business community and science, with the business community as both supplier and customer.
