What is the CyberHubs Network ?

The CyberHubs – European Network of Cybersecurity Skills Hubs offers organisations and initiatives the opportunity to engage as CyberHubs Associated Partners.

As an Associated Partner, you can take part in knowledge sharing, awareness-raising initiatives, education–industry cooperation, and EU-level exchanges alongside established national CyberHubs. This collaboration supports sustainable approaches to addressing cybersecurity skills gaps at both national and European level, while enhancing visibility and alignment with a growing European community of cybersecurity stakeholders. 

Who are Associated Partners ?

CyberHubs welcomes organisations and initiatives that contribute to building a skilled, resilient, and future-ready cybersecurity workforce in Europe, and whose activities align with the objectives of the CyberHubs – European Network of Cybersecurity Skills Hubs.

Why become an Associated Partner ?
