The Advances in Cyber Security Education Conference is a collaborative event bringing together stakeholders from schools, colleges, universities, government agencies and industry to explore the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in cyber security education. This conference serves as a platform for networking, learning, and showcasing the work of cyber security professionals, students and educators. It provides a forum for academia, industry, and government, to share thoughts and ideas around innovative practice in cyber security education; including novel approaches for the delivery of complex teaching subjects, through to practical solutions for how we encourage the adoption of cyber security with students and the broader society.

Cyber Security Education is fundamental to growing the national capacity of our digital workforce, making the UK the safest place to live and work online. We face a variety of challenges in the sector on how students learn about cyber security, and what makes for good cyber security education.
