Cybercampus Sweden

Cybercampus Detailed Plan

Extending the Cybercampus brochure we are building a detailed plan for the campus. This also includes securing funding for the campus. The base funding for the campus is estimated to be 100 MSEK per year guaranteed for at least 10 years.

Cybersecurity Roadmap

The campus is currently working on a high-level cybersecurity research and education roadmap for Sweden. The roadmap is a live document and will be continuously updated with specific educational programmes and research activities when the campus is formally inaugurated.

Campus Location

We are investigating different options for the physical location of the campus; the preferred location is Solna. This activity also includes cost estimation, size, possibility to host research infrastructure, etc. The physical building of the campus will be an important identity of the campus and will help us conduct both open and closed research.

Partner Workshops and Visits

In order to involve different stakeholders from industry, public sector, defence and academia, we are organizing a series of workshops, where interested partners provide their feedback on roadmap, education, research, innovation and outreach, among others. These partners would eventually become the part of the campus once the Campus is launched. This activity also includes visiting international similar setups and learn from their experiences.

Communication and Dissemination

This activity involves communicating the campus updates to the wider cybersecurity community in Sweden. These updates include the results of workshops, involvement of new partners, and fulfilment of ongoing Campus work, among others. It also includes creating the visual identity of the campus: logos, website, presentations, etc. Also, writing and disseminating the pre-study report is also included in this activity.

New Educational Programmes

The campus will develop curricula for new cross-university Bachelor, Master, and life-long learning programmes, can address the security needs of current and future digital systems. The campus will also facilitate the execution of these programmes across universities.

Need-based Research Projects

Starting with the need for new cybersecurity tools and methods for Sweden, the campus will carry out different projects. Unlike, typical research projects, the involved researchers from different universities will co-locate and work in a more collaborative way.

Building Research Infrastructure

The campus plan to develop large-scale shared infrastructure and testbed for cybersecurity research and innovation. This could include a testbed for open software defined networks, quantum communication, digital forensics, etc. This activity will also explore the possibilities to leverage on existing infrastructures such as CRATE and RISE Cyber Range. and EU

International Collaborations

The campus will identify and initiate international collaborations with top cybersecurity researchers in the world. Among other activities, it can offer short-term mobility programmes to these researchers. This, in turn, will increase Swedish international visibility and will help attracting international cyber experts to Sweden. This activity will also create synergies with other Swedish and EU mobility programmes.

Other activities

Provide an ecosystem for cyber innovation and help protect Swedish IPRs.

The Campus will be able to provide timely, well-informed, and organizationally neutral advice and expert opinions to decision makers on cybersecurity and cyberdefence related matters.

The campus also plans to coordinate large-scale EU projects.
