Project goals and objectives:
The key goal of project is to produce new generation of engineering and research staff capable of performing constructive development in cyber security evaluation and assurance. This objective will contribute to fulfill the demand of Ukrainian society to face the challenges in the area of ensuring cyber security policy in different application domains. They will be covered by developed master/doctoral/in-service curriculum:.
Objectives of the project:
- to develop master programme on cyber security and resilience with 5 courses;
- to develop doctoral programme on cyber security and resilience with 4 courses;
- to develop in-service training programme on cyber security and resilience with 3 modules;
- to establish a National security alliance (NSA) for training and consultancy in the area of cyber security assessment and management;
- to develop an intellectual knowledge-based system for modeling-oriented approach support up to 2016;
- to introduce a comprehensive capacity building scheme for involved academic staff of 7 Ukrainian universities.
Areas of activity:
- master’s program development in the field of cyber security and resilience;
- doctoral program development in the field of cyber security and resilience;
- establishing a National security alliance (NSA);
- improving the English language skills of team members;
- introducing a comprehensive capacity building scheme for involved academic staff of 7 Ukrainian universities;
- internal actions for information spreading;
- internal actions to disseminate information.
