This week we had the opportunity to participate in the Networking Meeting 2 (NM2) of the IoTalentum project, an event that took place in Porto earlier this week at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP).

IoTalentum is a European training network on the Internet of Things Marie Skłodowska-Curie of Horizon 2020 of the European Union. During the event, PhD students had the opportunity to present their research plans, and the leaders of the different work packages of the project the research progress.

Juan Manuel Corchado, director of the BISITE Research Group at the University of Salamanca, participated as leader of the cybersecurity work package. The goal of this division of the project is to increase the security of the IoTalentum infrastructure for successful next-generation IoT applications.

IoTalentum aims to provide interdisciplinary and comprehensive training and research in IoT technologies and their infrastructures, secure environments and applications. IoTalentum establishes a balanced and innovative training network of 10 beneficiaries from five member states and one partner country, with leading and complementary expertise.

Throughout the development of the project, we will train 15 Early-Stage Researchers (ESR), who will be recruited during the implementation of the project through an outstanding training program that includes coordinated research in different IoT fields.
