Welcome giveaways

Throughout the info-day, the public had the opportunity to exchange views with the BSFS partners’ representatives and to learn more about the BSFS actions and interventions in the pilot areas of Piraeus. 

The info day was a side event to the Launch Event, providing a great opportunity to reach our target groups (municipal bodies, urban security authorities, academics, researchers, cybersecurity stakeholders and companies, NGO’s, policy makers etc.) The participants were informed at the same time by representatives of all partners and had direct access in detailed scientific material and presentations.

Promotional material was available for visitors at the entrance and lobby of the venue. More precisely, project posters and banners were illustrated and a 4piece giveaway set was provided to the visitors.
