Google.org Cybersecurity Seminars
We are teaming up with Google.org to offer more and better learning and job opportunities in cybersecurity to students at universities in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
About
Students taking part in the Cybersecurity Seminars will get to put what they learn into practice, which will not only advance their skills but also positively affect the communities around them.
They’ll do this by working on real security projects, receiving guidance from mentors, and competing in competitions that challenge them to solve security problems.
We have teamed up with Google.org up to improve cybersecurity education at selected universities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This effort is about giving students who are interested in cybersecurity more chances to learn and build careers in this fast-changing area. The partnership will help these universities teach a fuller range of cybersecurity subjects, covering everything from foundational concepts to advanced strategies for combating cyber threats.
Students taking part will learn by applying their classroom skills in real-life situations. This can include doing internships where they can work in the field, getting tips and networking with professional cybersecurity mentors, and taking part in hackathons, which challenge them to come up with solutions to actual security problems while working with others and sharing ideas.
Through this innovative mix of theory and practice, Google.org and Virtual Routes aspire to cultivate a new generation of cybersecurity experts ready to tackle the complex challenges faced by digital economies and societies.
How It Works
Selected universities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa will receive up to $1 million in funds and access to Google’s technology and expertise. They’ll also receive educational materials and guidance from Virtual Routes.

Cybersecurity and AI Readings Portal
We created a readings portal that serves as a guide to help instructors decide which readings to include on your syllabi. The curated lists are sourced from public syllabi of top universities across the world. The readings are organized into categories to make it easier for instructors to find relevant material for your courses.
