Today, when we celebrate Europe Day, the Executive Vice-President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, Ms. Roxana Mînzatu visited the ECCC premises in Bucharest, Romania.
During her visit, Executive Vice-President Mînzatu met the ECCC staff and found out more about the activities and mandate of the Centre as engine for the implementation of Europe’s strategy in research, innovation, and industrial policy in the area of cybersecurity. Discussions focused also on the Centre’s role in supporting cyber skills identified as a priority in the ECCC Strategic Agenda, including through the activity of the ECCC Governing Board Working Group on Cyber Skills.
The visit of Executive Vice-President Mînzatu followed a debate organized by the Romanian Presidency that brought together students and teenagers from Romanian Universities and High Schools to discuss the significance of the European Union for Romania, in which both the Executive Vice-President and ECCC Executive Director Mr. Luca Tagliaretti took part.
Executive Vice-President Ms. Roxana Mînzatu highlighted “The ECCC is at the heart of Europe’s cybersecurity resilience—securing AI, scaling quantum readiness, and providing cyber skills at a time when they are needed most. Its work strengthens not just Romania, but the entire Eastern flank of our Union. We stand fully committed to its mission.”
ECCC Executive Director Mr. Luca Tagliaretti said: “It is a privilege to receive the visit of the EVP Roxana Mînzatu at the ECCC on this special day for Europe and discuss how we can contribute to her important and challenging mandate to close the skill gap in Europe.
