EnCycLEd

The EnCycLEd Erasmus+ Project (Nr.: 2023-1-AT01-KA220-SCH-000166888) aims to promote digital readiness in cybersecurity, resilience, and capacity-building in educational institutions. To achieve this, the project will promote cybersecurity literacy and awareness. It focuses on training students, schoolteachers and other teaching professions to develop key digital skills and competences. Special focus is given to promote interconnected educational systems in Europe with cybersecurity awareness and training at High Schools, Vocational Schools, as well as at university courses, especially the ones related to the formation of future teachers. The project results are planned to go beyond the project's educational partners, taking effect also via interactions with the vast existing network of associated institutions of the partners. The EnCycLEd consortium benefits from the diverse and profound experience of higher education partners, professional schools and associations in the topic areas of cybersecurity and didactics. The project counts with cybersecurity expertise coming from European Universities (UIBK in Austria and HU in Germany) and from a cybersecurity association (UACS in Ukraine), supported by two other Universities (UoM in Greece and SET Univ. in Ukraine) to develop and test the training materials and school curricula. Two project partners (AC in Malta and REACH in Austria) will respectively cater for the development of the project's digital platform and the project’s dissemination and network-building. EnCycLEd will devote main efforts on interacting and piloting its developments in cooperation with two European Schools (in Greece and in Austria) and with two Ukrainian educational institutions (a University dedicated to the formation of teachers and a Vocational School).
