He is currently scientific coordinator of R&D European Integrated projects on security and compliance and is negotiating another integrated project on security engineering for change. Currently he is program chair of a Security Enginneering conference technically sponsored by ACM SIGSAC and ACM SIGSOFT (http://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos2009/)
As deputy rector for ICT procurements and services, a past-time with 70 members of staff and 3M€ yearly budget, he has the incredible advantage for a computer scientist of being also a customer of IT solutions. A position that enable him to be the users'scapegoat for industry solutions that never really works as advertised, and thus spurs him to new research ideas.
In a parallel life, he has been very active in voluntary service and was elected for 4 years in the European Executive Committee of Service Civil International, an international NGO with consultative status at UNESCO, the Council of Europe and the European Youth Forum. He sat in the national committee of a major tax objection campaign against military expences in Italy and was volunteer in refugees camps in former Yugoslavia.
