Have a look at our past Athens workshop, illustrated with images.

EUROCRIT takes as its point of departure a novel approach to the study of critical infrastructures, by reconstructing the long-term historical emergence and evolution of these. It looks at the expansion of infrastructures in Europe both through the interconnection across national borders and through interconnections of different kinds of infrastructures with one another. Those connections created new forms of interdependencies and shared vulnerabilities among nations in Europe. The project inquires how actors of different kinds have interpreted such interdependencies and vulnerabilities, and developed institutions for handling them.

This enables us to contribute novel ideas both to historical studies of infrastructures (adding the notion of vulnerability as well as a pan-European perspective) and to more policy- and practice-oriented research on critical infrastructures (adding the historical dimension).

EUROCRIT is a Collaborative Research Project (CRP) within the EUROCORES programme Inventing Europe, funded through the European Science Foundation (ESF). For more information see here or download the  EUROCORE brochure (1.52 MB).

The project consists of six Integrated Projects and two Associated Partners, from institutes and universities from eight countries.The projects primarily focus on European energy infrastructures (emphasis on gas and electricity), nuclear energy, communication systems and cybernatization.
