Cybersecurity Awareness Communication Challenge (CAC²)

New CSAW'24 Europe challenge: the Cybersecurity Awareness Communication Challenge (CAC²) !

Open to all academics, from high school to doctoral students and university students, this is the only competition that can bring together all levels of study and all fields of study!
The aim is to raise awareness of cybersecurity through a communication medium. Students from all disciplines can take part (engineers, graphic designers, business schools, teachers, etc.): the ideal is to bring together a wide range of skills and technologies to develop this innovative medium!

The medium is designed to raise awareness of cybersecurity among non-expert audiences (e.g. primary schools, media libraries, hospitals, etc.).
A jury made up of cybersecurity specialists and communication/marketing experts will assess the projects on the basis of criteria such as: the innovative aspect of the project, the expected impact on the public, ease of deployment and practical implementation.

Students may be enrolled in different universities/schools in the Europe region (*), in different disciplines, at different levels and in different countries.
The number of participants per team is not limited for the creation and development of the communication medium.
