@guildeu.bsky.socialđź‘ĄThe Guild hosted the first in-person Dual-Use and Defence working group meeting.
The group discussed defence and #dual-use research, #HorizonEurope, the #ECF, #NATO, and the role of universities in Europe’s evolving research and security landscape.
✨Thank you to all the participants!

Should the #ECF reward the best projects, or spread funding more evenly across regions?
I spoke with @euperspectives.bsky.social about this. My short answer: keep the ECF merit-based, and strengthen cohesion policy rather than asking the ECF to do its job.
@cen-cenelec.bsky.socialCEN and CENELEC joined @ceps.eu to discuss the role of standardization in #FP10 and the #ECF. The message was clear: standardisation must not be an afterthought.
Standards help bring research to market, enable interoperability, build trust and support innovation at scale.
#TrustStandards
@tradeinsight.infoSaba Capital dumped $4.15M of #ECAT while picking up smaller positions in #ECF ($145K) and #GF ($43K). Two Horace Mann (#HMN) insiders also sold a combined $276K.
