Cyber-Defence Campus: research, development and training for cyber defence
A Talent Program for Cyber-Defence Research
Cyber-threats have been accelerating due to the exponential growth of network connectivity. These new capabilities provide myriad opportunities for security hackers to wreak significant damage for commercial, political, or other gains.
CYD Fellowships are designed to promote new solutions to major challenges in the fields of security and data science by bringing together basic and applied research in cyber-defence.
CYD fellows are hosted by a higher education institution in Switzerland and conduct their research at the CYD Campus located on the premises of EPFL and ETHZ and in its office in Thun. The CYD Campus is a cyber-competence center acting as an anticipation platform for identifying and assessing technologies, commercial and social cyber trends, as well as the resulting usage scenarios.
Interested researchers may apply twice a year for Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships. Both new applications and resubmissions are strongly encouraged.
A rolling call for Master Thesis Fellowship applications is open.
The second call for Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships applications was closed on 31 August 2020. Details on future calls will be published soon.
