Deliverable D1.2: Report on Cyber Security education programme: results after the first year of delivery of programme

The deliverable reports on the main activities carried out during the first year of delivering the education programmes on Cyber Security (CSES), including preparation of self-standing online modules and activities devoted to preparing the second year of education programmes. As it will be detailed in the following sections, activities have been carried out smoothly, and students’ figures and feedback show that the programme has been successfully implemented. The increasing interest in Cyber Security themes and the interesting structure of the delivered program, including an Innovation and Entrepreneurship part, have met the appreciation of SPECTRO students. Moreover, the strong experience of the involved universities in delivering education programs has given students a good study environment. The transition to the second year is also proceeding smoothly, thanks to the factthat most of (almost all) the students are on track. The document is organized into four sections (including this introduction), followed by an annex that provides all the details of the activities carried out at each university. Section 2 summarizes the activities carried out for the implementation of the first year of the CSES education programme, including project meetings, admission process, and programme development. Moreover, a summary of the lessons learned is provided, while a detailed treatment for each partner is given in the annex. Section 3 describes the implementation of the self-standing modules with a brief presentation of each course and a preliminary list of figures and feedback. Section 4 describes the two summer schools attended by AUSIR students: “AI-driven cybersecurity”, held in Rennes, and “Digital Platforms for Smart Cities”, held in Helsinki. Finally, the forms in the Annex, one for each university, provide detailed activities for each partner according to the scheme described in Section 2.1.
