Description:
Digital technology and infrastructure have a critical role in the private lives of European citizens and in business environments. Every individual and business rely on them to communicate, work, advance science, and answer current environmental problems. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted not only how much it is important to rely on technology, but also how important is for Europe to be independent from systems and solutions coming from other regions of the world. Among the digital infrastructures and technologies that are critical for Europe, Cybersecurity and Robotics play a key role.
In this context, SPecialised Education programmes in CybersecuriTy and Robotics (SPECTRO) will improve the capacity of Europe to nurture and attract digital talents in crucial digital technology areas for Europe. SPECTRO will strengthen the degree of cooperation between higher education institutions and the private sector across Europe in the areas of Cybersecurity and Robotics through the development and delivery of master’s programmes and specialised online modules leading to certifications. As part of its education offer, SPECTRO will also include dedicated training activities in Innovation and Entrepreneurship to help participants drive innovation and digital breakthroughs in Europe as well as courses and self-standing modules focusing on the ethical principles for trustworthy technology application.
