Istanbul Ticaret University takes its place among Europe’s leading education and research institutions in the field of cyber security with its Secure Future Project. The innovative curriculum and reference framework developed within the scope of the project secures Europe’s digital future by increasing the competencies of cyber security experts.
The third transnational project management meeting of the Secure Future Project, which aims to increase Europe’s competencies in the field of cyber security, was successfully completed in Bilbao, Spain. At the meeting hosted by Media Creativa 2020, the “European Reference Framework on Cyber Security Competencies” developed within the scope of the project and the “Cyber Security Education Curriculum” and “Dissemination Activities” that are currently being developed were addressed.
As the next phase of the project, preparations have begun for the fourth management meeting, which will be hosted by Pragma Engineering in Perugia, Italy, in November 2024. This meeting will determine the future direction of the project and further strengthen the cooperation between partners.
The Secure Future Project, which aims to raise awareness about cyber security and raise education standards across Europe and is managed by Istanbul Ticaret University Technology Transfer Office (TTO) under the coordination of Istanbul Ticaret University, is financed by the European Commission through the Turkish National Agency.
The curriculum and reference framework developed within the scope of the project is designed to meet the needs of professionals working in the field of cyber security and individuals who aim to make a career in this field. In addition, through the dissemination activities of the project, it is aimed to increase the level of awareness and understanding about cyber security across Europe.
It is expected that the next meeting of the Secure Future Project will be an important milestone towards achieving the project’s goals and will create a turning point in the field of cyber security education in Europe.
