Following a thorough selection process, 60 students representing 17 different nationalities have been chosen to attend the International Cyber Security Summer School, which will take place from August 17–22, 2025.

In a week-long program, participants of the International Cyber Security Summer School will attend various lectures from public, private, and knowledge institutions. Additionally, multiple HSD partners will provide challenges in a range of topics, allowing each participant to take on a challenge within their area of interest and at their own level.
