Moldovan scientists shared experiences and discussed opportunities for future cooperation under the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme ‘Information Days’ in Chisinau on 5 and 6 June.
The main objective of the event was to explore opportunities for cooperation in relation to emerging security challenges. A key focus was cyber defence – a key priority for the Moldovan authorities which are seeking to build institutional capacities to tackle this potential threat to national security.
“This SPS visit boosts Moldovan experts’ understanding on how to respond to challenges to information networks and enhances the resilience of national capacities to address these threats,” underlined Natalia Spinu, Director of the Cyber Security Center. She added that it has the potential to “contribute to developing a national vision for cyber security leading to the establishment of a strategy and connecting national with international efforts in this field.”
Michael Gaul, Senior Advisor for Strategy and Projects in NATO’s Emerging Security Challenges Division, strongly encouraged Moldovan experts and scientists to make full use of the SPS programme to engage with the Alliance in security areas of mutual interest.
First Deputy President of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Ion Tighineanu, highlighted the importance of further strengthening cooperation, while also praising past achievements.
The Academy of Sciences presented several projects which have had a direct impact on citizens’ security. One such project has contributed to efforts to prevent natural disasters by assessing the susceptibility of areas in Central Moldova to landslides. Another project has focused on technological approaches to detect and remove dangerous contaminants in water supplies.
The event – which was organised in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, the Academy of Sciences and the Cyber Security Center – brought together over 100 participants including scientists, experts, government officials and civil society representatives.
