Research

Research at CYSCOE brings together companies, universities and research institutes to turn open questions in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence into frameworks, tools and practical knowledge that organisations can use.

Research is coordinated through the working group Research, Innovation and Technological Development and through the European projects in which CYSCOE is a partner.

Research areas

AI governance and AI-mediated capacity

How people and organisations change when they work with AI, what authority is delegated to machines and how that capacity can be assessed with evidence.

Cyber threat intelligence

Threat analysis, correlation of data from multiple sources, risk evaluation and decision support, contributed by CYSCOE experts in ECYBRIDGE.

Cyber ranges and exercises

Training scenarios and operational validation for a federated European network of cyber ranges, developed in CYRESRANGE.

Information integrity

How AI-enabled influence operations distort perception and decisions, and which verification habits reduce the risk.

Civil–defence cooperation

Operational connectivity between civilian and defence actors during complex cyber incidents, the main lesson of ECYBRIDGE.

Security of connected industry

IoT, OT/IT convergence and resilience of smart manufacturing, topics CYSCOE members bring to industry conferences.

Research outputs

Open-access papers, tools and guides produced by CYSCOE members. All are free to read.

Framework

Humanᴬᴵ and Orgᴬᴵ: A Relational Framework for AI-Mediated Human and Organizational Capacity

Alexandru Angheluș · September 2026 · CC BY-ND 4.0

A relational framework for describing the capacity people and organisations build when their work is mediated by AI.

Tool

Humanᴬᴵ and Orgᴬᴵ Framework Calculator v1.2.0

Alexandru Angheluș · September 2026 · code MIT, framework CC BY-ND 4.0

The framework turned into an assessment sheet that runs offline in the browser and reports a profile across dimensions instead of a single score.

Paper

Artificial Intelligence and Civilizational Transformation

Alexandru Angheluș · August 2026 · English and Romanian · CC BY-ND 4.0

AI as a cognitive layer between people and reality: Humanᴬᴵ, Orgᴬᴵ, the cognitively assisted Earth, AI governance and the geopolitics of AI, with EU and US case studies.

Guide

Artificial Intelligence & The Manipulation of Human Perception

Mircea Constantin Șcheau, Alexandru Ciprian Angheluș · December 2025 · ADA program

How synthetic media, algorithmic amplification and scalable persuasion affect perception, and the practical measures that protect against them.
