Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE

An independent communication network and a flexible situation picture for the acute phase of a disaster: That is the goal of the "lokik" project, short for "Local Initial Crisis Management". In summer the project goes into test operation.

Cyberattacks on industry and critical infrastructure are on the rise across the globe. Targets also include ships, which, by transporting billions of tons of goods around the world each year, form part of international supply chains — yet their on-board IT systems often lack secure protection. To raise awareness of the risks of inadequate cybersecurity at sea and to help develop defensive solutions for guarding against cyberattacks, the Fraunhofer FKIE has teamed up with the Fraunhofer CML to set up a modular maritime security lab. 

It's a record: for the first time, a total of 14 teams will compete in the European Robotics Hackathon (EnRicH) from 12 to 16 June 2023 - more than ever before. On the site of the nuclear power plant Zwentendorf participants will test the current state of their robotic systems. Team FKIE starts with the dual-arm robot "Magni".

The Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and Fraunhofer FKIE will host the world-renowned Digital Forensic Research Workshop in March. The conference will bring together experts from around the world to discuss current and emerging challenges in digital forensics.
