The EBSIS project addresses the “Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation” topic in the Horizon 2020 work programme, and in particular the scope of Twinning actions. The objective of the project is to stimulate the scientific excellence and to strengthen the research activity of the Faculty of Computer Science within Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iaşi (UAIC), Romania, by creating a collaboration link with two internationally leading research institutions: Institute of Informatics, Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland (UNINE) and Faculty of Informatics, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany (TUD).
EBSIS will raise the research profile of the initiating institution, Faculty of Computer Science, UAIC, Romania by extending the ground base for, and strengthening a new research field, event based systems – security, dependability and scalability. The project impact will be visible at multiple levels: extending the area of knowledge for senior students through specific training, strengthening the expertise of senior research staff and increasing the networking of the initiating institution through outreach actions. This impact will be achieved by means of collaboration with research groups in the two partner institutions, which possess a high level of expertise in research on the given field.
