On April 15-16, 2026, the Center for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) represented TESTUDO at the Research and Innovation Symposium for European Security 2026 (RISE-SD 2026) in Varna, Bulgaria.
Konstantinos Gkountakos presented TESTUDO, its strategic goals and objectives, system architecture, technological assets and three Use Cases. The project was also presented at a dedicated booth featuring a roll-up banner, promotional video, and brochures, allowing direct engagement with attendees.
The goal of the RISE-SD 2026 was to provide a unique forum for disseminating scientific results, support knowledge exchange, and create networking and clustering opportunities for security stakeholders of EU-funded projects in security and defense.
Each year the Symposium serves as a platform to boost cooperation among scientific organisations, SMEs and the European security industry, practitioners, policymakers as well as other stakeholders with the overall objective to ensure a successful market uptake of the European research results in security and defence.
