Specific objectives of the project:

  • To develop master programme on Cyber Security and Resilience with 5 courses CM-A..CM-E;
  • To develop doctoral programme on Cyber Security and Resilience with 3 courses CP-A..CP-C;
  • To develop in-service training programme on Cyber Security and Resilience with 3 modules CT-A..CT-C;
  • To establish a National Security Alliance (NSA) for training and consultancy in the area of Cyber Security Assessment and Management;
  • To introduce a comprehensive capacity building scheme for involved academic staff of 7 UA universities.

Establishment of the National Security Alliance (NSA) offices at the Ukrainian universities.

The aim of NSA is to integrate all available and produced curriculum, methodics and tools for providing training and consultancy services in the area of Cyber Security assessment and management for institutions and industry acting in described application domains. The structure of alliance comprises 7 offices to be incorporated at the involved department of each PC university. Each office will be specialized for the specific application domain and thus be responsible for networking and cooperating of R&D, academic and industrial partners acting in the respective domain.
