SechTech workshop

On 17-21 September 2018 will be held the 24th IFIP World Computer Congress in Poznan, Poland (2018 IFIP WISE). In the framework of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership SecTech, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) coordinates the organization of the SecTech Workshop, to be held on 19 September in association with 2018 IFIP WISE.

SecTech Project Objective

The Erasmus+ strategic partnership project "Innovation and Excellence in Cyber-security teaching in Higher Education" (SecTech) was formed by seven European higher education institutions (KU Leuven, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Oulu, University of Plymouth, University of Regensburg, and University of Vienna) to collaboratively develop a European cybersecurity curriculum.

The core motivation of SecTech is to provide a seed curriculum, including ready to use online teaching materials, to give European academic institutions a much better starting point for implementing and delivering a cyber-security education program, either on their own or in cooperation with other institutions. The primary contributions the project are aimed at supporting are the integration of knowledge that is currently available across Europe, the introduction of a curriculum template, the provision of online course materials that can serve as a core, and finally the establishment of an online repository and cooperation platform that can provide basis for a Europe wide joint educational effort. As the free sharing of the developed course materials is expected to have an essential impact, established open standards and systems such as Moodle and SCORM will form the technological basis.
