Royal Holloway is one of six universities from the UK, the United States and Japan to establish a new consortium to tackle the growing international challenges facing cybersecurity experts in our increasingly connected world.
The International Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence (INCS-CoE) will serve as a hub for international cybersecurity research, advocacy, and education. Its members will help governments develop global cybersecurity standards, conduct research to stay ahead of evolving threats, help train students to handle the cybersecurity challenges of the future.
The founding members of the centre along with Royal Holloway are Keio University and Kyushu University in Japan; the University of Maryland Baltimore County and Northeastern University in America and Imperial College London in the UK.
Other universities around the world have already expressed their interest in joining the centre as well. As more countries get involved, opportunities will arise to identify and close potential cybersecurity gaps worldwide.
INCS-CoE Vision
The Vision of the INCS-CoE is to work together in multi-stakeholder environment of Government-Private-Academia collaboration chartered by institutions representing three nations, the USA, the UK, and Japan and creating the environment for collaboration efforts where people meet and work together.
INCS-CoE Mission
The Mission of INCS-CoE is to pioneer efforts worldwide to address challenges created by the growing borderless digital society. Understanding that a single nation-state or one organization will not be able to solve the challenges on its own, the INCS-CoE will start with universities and grow to an academic-government-private collaboration.
