CyberFort Project: Empowering VET Systems and Smes for Future Cyber Challenges

The CYBERFORTH Project Presentation will be organized within the framework of Erasmus Days to raise awareness about cybersecurity skills, digital resilience, cyber hygiene, and the future workforce needs of the digital economy. The event will present the objectives, activities, outputs, and achievements of the CYBERFORTH project, highlighting innovative approaches for strengthening cybersecurity competences among learners, educators, vocational education and training (VET) providers, SMEs, and other stakeholders. The presentation will introduce the project’s training materials, digital learning resources, practical cybersecurity scenarios, awareness-raising activities, and capacity-building initiatives developed to support individuals and organizations in addressing emerging cyber threats. Participants will gain insights into current cybersecurity challenges, the growing demand for cybersecurity skills in Europe, and the role of vocational education in preparing a skilled and resilient workforce.

The event will also showcase the project’s international cooperation activities, good practices, and collaborative efforts among project partners from different countries. Discussions will focus on digital transformation, cybersecurity awareness, data protection, safe online behavior, and the importance of continuous upskilling and reskilling in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The event aims to bring together educators, trainers, students, researchers, policy makers, ICT professionals, SME representatives, public authorities, and other interested stakeholders. It will provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of experiences, and exploration of future cooperation opportunities in the fields of cybersecurity, digital education, and innovation.

Through its participation in Erasmus Days, the CYBERFORTH Project contributes to the Erasmus+ priorities of digital transformation, innovation, inclusion, lifelong learning, and European cooperation, while promoting a safer and more cyber-resilient society.
