This call aims to contribute to the further development of generic knowledge in the field of digital security in logistics chains (supply chains) and the digital security of the products and services these chains produce. Multidisciplinary consortia are invited to submit research proposals aimed at improving digital security throughout the chain. This knowledge development can focus on a) balancing security, flexibility and chain efficiency, b) mapping (dynamic) dependencies in chains, c) the digital security of products and services generated by these chains and d) developing mitigating measures and testing them in both digital and physical chains.

This call focusing on Supply Chain Security was created in cooperation with the Top Sector Logistics, Energy, Horticulture & Raw Materials, Life Sciences & Health, ICT and HTSM, within the System and Chain Security theme of the CS4NL programme.
