The 3 priorities of the Regional strategy for economic and social transitions 2023 – 2027 are:
a) Accelerate and succeed in the climate and ecological transitions of Breton economy and society
b) Strengthen Brittany's food and industrial production base with a view to sovereignty
c) Reinforce social cohesion and inclusion as factors in economic performance and individual fulfilment
The strategy includes 3 sub-strategies. Of direct relevance to CAMPUS is sub-strategy 2, An economic development strategy for business and industries. Within this, Measure 6 aims to: Accelerate the digitisation of Brittany's economy and society by prioritising the challenge of cyber security.
Within this measure, the first key action is the design of the regional cyber Campus. On the 26th of April 2024, the campus was launched. From now, the 2d phase – implementation - starts. The cyber campus key areas of action are: animation of the regional stakeholders, training, operational actions and research and innovation.
As cybersecurity is a transversal sector, its implementation will not only be included into sub-strategy 2 but also deployed through sub-strategy 1 – Training and skills and sub-strategy 3- Research and higher education.

Priority 2 of the Regional programme 2021-2027 North East is for a more digitised region (Euro 100.31 M ERDF). It was developed by NE RDA in collaboration with regional stakeholders and approved by the European Commission on October 21st, 2022. It is supported by the NE Regional Development Programme (RDP) and Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3 NE). NE RP supports measures for technological development and sustainability of innovative companies and smart solutions for local community development.
The operations of this priority support:
1. Digital transformation of SMEs aimed at increasing digital intensity, through investments for use of digital tools, equipment and services (internet pages, digital promotion, cloud-type hosting, e-invoicing/commerce, digitisation of communication with consumer/clients, development of digital mail-rooms, digitisation of data collection)
and
2. Development of digital public services, oriented towards the private sector, citizens and local community. It funds develop and testing of e-government applications and solutions, to improve the business sector and reduce citizens’ administrative burden. This includes creation of open data platforms in standardised, friendly formats for public services directed/requested to/by citizens and companies or creation of IT systems for electronic services integrated with geographic information. It also covers platforms for data management/consultation and applications for smartphone users.

The Regional Government of Tuscany is the Managing Authority of the Regional Programme ERDF 2021-2027. Priority 1 focuses on Research, innovation, digitisation and competitiveness. Within this priority, 2 specific objectives are relevant to CAMPUS as they foresee complementary actions on digital transition.
RSO1.1 - Develop and strengthen research and innovation capabilities and the introduction of advanced technologies
and
RSO1.2 - Enabling citizens, businesses, research organisations and public authorities to reap the benefits of digitalisation.
RSO1.1 focuses on companies, digital transition and resilience with an allocation of 19.924.000€ for digitalisation and 4.800.000€ for innovation and resilience. Beneficiaries are SMEs and professionals. A call for digital innovation was launched in 2023. An additional call is foreseen in 2025.
RSO1.2 covers two sub-initiatives. “Smart Toscana” focuses on strengthening Tuscan Public Authorities (Pas) and on developing increasingly citizen-friendly digital services. It includes clear references to improved cybersecurity. The second initiative develops Digital Ecosystems, enabling digital use in specific strategic sectors. Total allocation for the RSO is 10.400.000€. Beneficiaries are PAs and in-house bodies. A call for Implementation of territorial innovation projects focused on open data for smart cities will stay open until 2025. New calls are planned in the final part of the programming period to increase PA resilience.

The Regional Digital Compass (Tampere Region) was drafted to support growth and employment on the digital sector, twin transition and overall development of the region. It was approved in February 2024 by the Board of Council of Tampere Region.
The Digital Compass focuses and builds capacity to the region’s future and enhances the regional development missions and the S3 spearheads. It stems from the EU Digital Decade 2030 programme which also sets its time horizon.
The Digital Compass aims to create better collaboration in the governance of the regional digital transition. Additionally, the support of the JRC in the preparation process enhanced synergy with the European equivalent strategy. Thus, the regional Digital Compass builds regional awareness of the objectives of the EU’s digital decade and prepares the innovation ecosystem for future development and collaboration in digitalisation.
The regional Digital Compass was prepared in accordance with the European focus points: secure and sustainable digital infrastructures, skills, digital transformation of businesses and the digitalisation of public services. To emphasise growth and employment, the digital transformation of the business sector will be underlined in future development.
While there is no direct funding connected to it, the Digital Compass advises other regional funding decisions. Procedures for revising the regional Digital Compass are not yet defined.

The Rijeka Information security regulation aims at protecting the security of the City's Information System.
It details how the city should organise security protection, security measures and means and how they should be implemented. It also cites liability for non-compliance with security measures and means. This is the document that provides a framework for information security and cybersecurity, as well as operational procedures for the use of ICT technologies across the entire city administration.
The existing act is outdated and requires improvement with a new legal framework, as well as expansion to a whole range of new areas that have not been covered so far. This includes the central concept of digital resilience.
The City is currently working on improving the Information security regulation and creating a new one that would align with new technologies in use or planned for implementation. The areas that need enhancement through regulations include: the main information security act that would comply with the NIS Directive, user supervision during ICT system usage, remote access methods, the obligation to use advanced authentication systems, supplier rights and obligations, supplier monitoring, SLA agreements, and a range of other areas.
All these areas need improvement, and due to GDPR, security technologies collect user data. CAMPUS comes at a time when the City is actively enhancing these regulations and would greatly benefit the digital campus approach.
