Pantelis Koutroumpis, Co-Director of the Programme on Technological and Economic Change at the Oxford Martin School, has been awarded the 2025–2026 Fellowship from the Research Institute in Trustworthy Interconnected Cyber Physical Systems (RITICS). RITICS, based at Imperial College London, is one of three cyber security institutes established by the UK Government in collaboration with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

During his fellowship, Pantelis will work on the project “Socio-technical incentives of Critical Infrastructures Security” in partnership with experts from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). His research will assess the technological, economic and regulatory guardrails necessary to address the growing attack surface of the UK’s critical national infrastructures.

The project aims to inform new legal and regulatory interventions and will explore pressing questions related to cyber insurance and systemic risk assessment in complex infrastructure networks.
