This is definitely a good move, but I was hoping the EU would also announce investment into current open source projects. Maybe a program for people to present

    The EU runs bug bounty programs for open-source software. But I'm not sure if the EU directly funds open-source projects. https://ec.europa.eu/info/news/eu-fossa-bug-bounties-full-force-2019-apr-05_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/news/eu-fossa-bug-bounties-full-fo...

    EU also fundsled foss research and security audits, but no idea whether that was one off or regular https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/eu-funds-open-source-programm-0 https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observato... https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-to-fund-bug-bounty-programs-for-14-open-source-projects-starting-january-2019/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-to-fund-bug-bounty-programs...

  They already do that. Check out https://nlnet.nl/ https://nlnet.nl/ and other NGI programs.
