World Learning Cybersecurity Faculty Workshop and Reception

World Learning and the CyberWatch Center invite you to attend a professional networking reception with European cybersecurity educators

On March 30th, a group of 15 scholars and educators from eight European Union countries are coming to the US for a study tour to learn from the experience of academics, government and industry, in order to consider improvements to their work back home, and to explore potential linkages. The program is funded by the Polish-US Fulbright Commission and implemented by World Learning (founded in 1932 as the Experiment in International Living).  The European delegation includes faculty from Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

The overall program is designed for cybersecurity academic stakeholders from universities across Central and Eastern Europe, with the following learning objectives:

• Acquaint participants with the scope of cybersecurity studies conducted in the U.S. the catalogue of specializations and most common course content/curriculum
• Showcase several examples of successful cybersecurity certification programs run by distinguished U.S. universities
• Reflect upon best practices in organizing and running cybersecurity programs
• Discuss the most current challenges in cybersecurity and studies devoted to the subject
• Familiarize the group with the latest developments in cybersecurity

Attendance is open to faculty or administrators from Maryland colleges and universities who are members of the National CyberWatch Center. Others interested in attending, please contact: dtobey@nationalcyberwatch.org.
