Uniting Global Experts for Innovation and Education
As you read these lines, tens of thousands of cyber incidences are taking place worldwide.
International Applied Cybersecurity Conference (IACyC) aims to bring together cybersecurity experts, industry leaders, and IT professionals from around Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The conference is organized mainly by the Erasmus+ MUNDUS Joint Master’s Degree Project partners whose aim through their international projects is to attract students around the world and to educate in cybersecurity fields within a master program. Our vision is to create a platform to exchange ideas, share best practices, and explore innovative approaches to cybersecurity. Especially to share newly created knowledge by these Erasmus MUNDUS students, alumni, and academic and industrial partners with the interested parties.
The conference will feature a diverse program, including special sessions, workshops, tutorials, keynote speeches, panel discussions, and oral presentations. All submissions will be reviewed by a minimum of three members of the Technical Committee members. Papers on all topics of cybersecurity are welcome.
