Kick-off, 6 October: fourteen partners convened in Esch-sur-Alzette

On Tuesday 6 October 2026, the LATTICE consortium met at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) in Esch-sur-Alzette/Belval, with further partners joining online, to open a 36-month programme funded by the European Union through the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre.

The meeting set a concrete agenda for the first period: establishing measured baselines for today's cross-border coordination (documented at 12–24 hours), specifying the federated architecture, and building the three core subsystems — the Jury Protocol consensus engine, the peer-to-peer secure multi-party computation (P2P-SMPC) privacy gateway, and the federated digital twin network. All four pilot sites — in Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Luxembourg — took part from day one.

First public outputs: the open-source alpha on GitHub in 2028, with core deliverables published as approved. Four operational pilots run continuously from early 2029.

Where LATTICE began: a two-day planning workshop in Luxembourg

In late September 2025, a small team met in Luxembourg for a two-day sandpit workshop to discuss and plan the proposal that would become LATTICE. Over the two days the group worked through how the concept mapped to the call, co-designed the technical approach, shaped the pilot strategy, and agreed a writing plan for the proposal deadline that November.

We would like to thank Dr Wanpeng Li of the University of Liverpool for his help. It was Wanpeng's British Academy grant that made it possible for the team to meet in person and develop the foundations of the LATTICE project.
