The EURISC Foundation is deeply involved in the promotion and influence of the concept of Critical Infrastructures Protection in Romania. Together with many partners like UTI Systems, TRANSELECTRICA S.A., RASIROM, different governmental institutions and others, EURISC Foundation made important steps toward promoting this concept, organizing a series of national and international events and participating to the most important events abroad.

Critical Infrastructures are, according to a European definition, "physical and technological installations of information, networks, services and assets, which, in case of stopping or destruction, can cause serious incidents on the citizens' health, security and economic well-being or on the activities of the Member States' governments".

What we can understand under critical infrastructures are the objectives described in the documents of the European Commission as follows:

• installations and networks in the energy sector (especially the installations for producing electricity, oil and gas, installations for storage and rafineries, transport and distribution systems);
• communication and information (telecommunications, radio transmission systems, programs, the information materials and networks, including the internet, etc.);
• finance (the banking sector, the stock market and the investments);
• the health care sector (hospitals, care equipments for patients and blood banks, pharmaceutics laboratories and products, emergency services, searching and saving services);
• the food sector (security, production means, distribution and agro-alimentary industry);
• water supply (reserves, storage, treatment and distribution systems);
• transport (airports, ports, rail ways, mass transit networks, traffic control systems);
• production, storage and transport of dangerous substances (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials);
• administration (basic services, installations, information networks, assets, important places, national monuments).
