The project titled Strategic Initiative for Defending Critical Maritime Infrastructure (SIDMI) aims to enhance cooperation and knowledge exchange between Romania and Norway in the field of critical maritime infrastructure protection. The initiative focuses on sharing experiences, threat perceptions, and best practices while conducting research to develop policy-relevant insights on the challenges facing offshore energy infrastructure. It also includes examining hybrid threats, gray zone operations, and effective methods for safeguarding critical infrastructure in the maritime domain, fostering bilateral relationships among experts and public institutions from both countries.
The project is funded through the Romania-Norway Bilateral Relations Fund 2014-2021.
