Cybersecurity Matchmaking Event 2016

A Matchmaking Event for Cyber Security is organized during the ‘Alert Online 2016’ period - the Dutch governmental campaign for cybersecurity awareness. The event will take place on October 14th, 2016 at the Zuiderstrandtheater in The Hague.

Reasons to organise this event are the upcoming third national cybersecurity tender (funded by NWO, SiA, V&J and ISF, executed by NWO, SiA and RvO) and the desire to identify improvements in cyber security higher education, to better match the needs of the public and private sector. Plans and recommendations will ultimately be put together in a National Cyber Security Education Agenda (NCSEA) to be published in 2017.

Who should attend?

The event is for everyone, interested or involved in cybersecurity research, development, innovation and education. We invite especially possible future executors of cybersecurity R&D projects (scientists, students, entrepreneurs), public and private research partners, potential profit and non-profit users of research results, multidisciplinary cybersecurity teachers and policy makers.
