Trust Building and the European Reference Nnetwork for Critical Infrastructure Protection community

This paper builds on the case study of the ERNCIP (European Research Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection) project, in which a network of experts are asked to help build and promote the first community for European Critical Infrastructure Protection dedicated to CIP research. It examines the concept of trust and its many dimensions, how they can be monitored, how they relate to networks of people and the technologies-mechanisms that they use to cooperate. The paper starts by providing an overview of ERNCIP and then introduces trust, confidence and trust development as community building concepts. The authors then discuss their experience in nurturing, seeding and promoting trust while developing the ERNCIP community by leveraging a participatory and voluntary approach. The paper closes with a review of trust by design, commitment and governance and a look at the future of ERNCIP.
