IFIP Working Group 11.8 on Information Security Education invites submissions to the 19th World Conference on Information Security Education (WISE2027). The conference brings together researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world to advance research, practice, and innovation in cybersecurity, information security, privacy, and resilience education.

The conference invites original submissions describing innovative research, effective practices, and evidence-based approaches related to the theory and practice of cybersecurity and information security education. Contributions from academia, industry, government, and the non-profit sector are encouraged, particularly those that demonstrate real-world impact, interdisciplinary perspectives, and advances in educational practice.
