Description:

The MICIE project, being in line with EU initiative to establish a The European Council Directive 2008/114/EC defines: ‘Critical infrastructure’ (CI) means an asset, system or part thereof located in Member States which is essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic..

Critical Infrastructure
Warning Information Network (CIWIN), will design and implement a so-called "MICIE alerting system" that identifies, in real time, the level of possible threats induced on a given See critical infrastructure

and/or other interdependent CIs. In particular, whenever such events occur, the MICIE alerting system will support the See critical infrastructure
