Germany and Europe are particularly affected: Supply chains are breaking down, energy and raw material supplies for industry and society are on the brink, food shortages are hitting the poorest of the poor in particular. At the same time, organized crime in virtual space is on the rise. The security of energy supplies, critical infrastructures, the economy and thus also the prosperity of our society are at stake. There is no time for demands and discussions now. Solutions that can be implemented in the short term are needed for sustainable, independent energy and raw material supplies, for technological sovereignty and for Europe's resistance to disruption.
From Boston, Prof. Tonio Buonassisi of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology notes that digital communications are increasingly being used as a weapon. Against this background, he believes a robust and dynamic research ecosystem is imperative.
