Co-located with IEEE Euro S&P 2022

================================================================================

# Scope

The current lack of cyber security professionals in the international job market is a significant problem which can be mitigated by (1) new higher education and professional training programs, and (2) innovative educational tools which allow trainees to train on real world scenarios. The 1st European Workshop on Cyber Security Education and Practice aims at gathering educators from universities and professional training institutions, researchers from academia, industry, EU agencies, and security practitioners to discuss current problems and solutions, to collaborate, share knowledge and educational tools, and improve existing practices on security education. The workshop is intended to become a venue for cutting-edge research, best practices, and experimental curricula/courses in computer security education, and tools for supporting the training.

# Topics of interests

All the topics related to cyber security education as well as training and awareness, in any setting and with a diversity of goals, are relevant and within the scope of this workshop.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Innovative teaching modalities, for example MOOCs, flipped classrooms, distance learning, security games and competitions, CTF, escape rooms, etc.;
