Wednesday 2 September – Thursday 3 September 2020
(postponed from 22-23 April)
Tbilisi, Georgia
Building on the success of the first EaPConnect CyberSecurity Workshop, which took place in Berlin on 27-28 June 2018, this second event will take a more technical approach. EU and EaP experts will share their experience and best practices in CyberSecurity and invite to discuss and explore the topics and opportunities in more depth.
CyberSecurity is of vital importance in today's globalized world and hence for the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. This event will introduce people and activities from the EU-funded projects CyberSec4Europe, Concordia and GN4-3, the current GÉANT project. Discussions will circle around what is needed especially for the EaP region and how people from EaP organisations could get more involved in European R&D in CyberSecurity.
This workshop is open for about 25 people with a relevant technical background, working in the area of CyberSecurity. EaPConnect project partners can request funding support to attend the event; other interested parties are welcome but would need to cover their own costs.
