European Cybersecurity Competence Community Day, 20 October 2026
This October, the European Cybersecurity Competence Community comes together at the Bucharest Cybersecurity Conference (BCC2026) in Bucharest. For the first time, a dedicated community opportunity is being organised within the BCC2026 conference.

Selection process
The registration form constitutes a pre-selection process. Applications will be reviewed with the support of the relevant National Coordination Centres and consolidated by the ECCC to ensure balanced representation across countries, stakeholder categories and cybersecurity domains. Final participation will be confirmed following completion of this process.
Selected participants will subsequently be invited to complete their registration for BCC2026 and make the necessary travel arrangements. They will have the opportunity to participate in the full conference programme. Participants who have expressed an interest in pitching, speed networking, or other collaboration activities will be contacted by the ECCC or the relevant NCC representatives and provided with all the necessary practical information in a timely manner.
We encourage all interested members of the Swedish Comepetence Community to submit their expression of interest and join this unique opportunity to connect with the European cybersecurity community.
