As a starting point, the BiC project will use the key recommendations from the INCO-Trust project, which identified the following two groups of recommendations that are labelled under the categories Strategic and Tactical. This is not meant to imply any over-riding chronological order, but that the Strategic group are meant to be the pre-requisite enablers for international cooperation, setting out the frameworks, common understandings and motivations, and overall landscape to ensure the possibility and effectiveness of the more concrete Tactical group recommendations. The project recommendations are road mapped for future FP7/FP8 calls in Annex 6 for both groups of recommendations.
(a) Strategic Recommendations (see the INCO-Trust Final recommendations report for more details)
SR1 International alignment: preparation of policy frameworks to enable global collaboration and interoperability
SR2 Variety: cooperation on topics related to security and diversity.
SR3 Scalability: cooperation on topics related to security and complexity
SR4 Reciprocity: cooperation on topics related to security and interoperability
SR5 Secrecy: cooperation on the issues of digital sovereignty and dignity
SR6 Negotiation: cooperation on the theme of security and trust
SR7 Security expertise: cooperation on topics related to security and technological challenges of security
SR8 Protection: cooperation on topics related to security and cyber-defence

TR1 Support strengthening infrastructure resilience and control crisis management.
