SPECTRO SPecialised Education programmes in CybersecuriTy and RObotics

/in , , , /by

SPecialised Education programmes in CybersecuriTy and Robotics (SPECTRO) will focus on the design and delivery of two double-degree master’s programmes (ISCED Level 7, 120 ECTS) in two key digital technology areas for the future of Europe: 1) Cybersecurity and 2) Robotics. The two specialised master’s programmes, which will also include a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, will be designed and delivered by a consortium consisting of 12 higher education institutions from 7 different countries, 2 innovative SMEs, 1 leading research centre in Information Systems and EIT Digital, a pan-European organisation with in-depth knowledge and experience in the digital skills domain. The master’s programmes developed by SPECTRO partners will address the labour market needs, foster strong interactions and mobility between academia and business, strengthen knowledge triangle integration, promote entrepreneurship, and considerably boost the growth of the existing EIT Digital ecosystem, one of the largest digital ecosystems in Europe. In addition to the two master’s programme, SPECTRO partners will also develop and deploy a series of self-standing learning modules on topics related to Cybersecurity and Robotics. These modules will lead to four different certifications, which will be released by participating higher education institutions and EIT Digital.

SPECTRO will expand the specialised education offer in Europe and will contribute to reducing the current shortage of digital specialists in Europe, by providing training to more than 1000 European citizens in Cybersecurity and Robotics.
