The O-CEI Horizon project will be represented at the 6th IWAPS 2026, held in conjunction with the ARES 2026. This scientific workshop brings together researchers and innovators working on advanced security and privacy technologies, with a strong focus on trustworthy AI, IoT security, and data governance models. The event is co-organised by leading European initiatives, including the active involvement of InQbit Innovations, our partner in O-CEI, which serves as co-organiser and contributes to shaping the workshop’s multidisciplinary programme.
IWAPS 2026 directly aligns with O-CEI’s core technical priorities around security, trust, and digital identity within the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum. The workshop provides an important platform to exchange knowledge and disseminate research on topics such as secure interoperability, privacy-preserving AI, trustworthy data sharing, and resilient IoT and edge environments, all central to the O-CEI vision.
Through its participation, O-CEI contributes to ongoing discussions on how to build secure, compliant, and interoperable digital infrastructures in Europe, supporting the development of solutions based on zero-trust principles, self-sovereign identity, and trusted cross-domain data exchange.
