Yogyakarta, December 11th , 2020 – Center for Digital Society (CfDS) Universitas Gadjah Madahas been awarded a grant under the Nuffic Orange Knowledge Programme for the project ‘Enhancing Higher Education Capacity for an Inter-disciplinary Cybersecurity Study Program’. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Data Research Centre (DRC) of University of Groningen/Campus Fryslân), and will start on January 2021 until March 2022.
The project aims to incorporate the interdisciplinary nature of Campus Fry Fryslân to support CfDS through capacity building to enhance the capacities of teaching staff and researchers in the field of cybersecurity. Furthermore, the project will allow the institutions to share their experiences in different cultural contexts and build bridges for sustained exchange of researchers, lecturers and students. Therefore, the project also aims to strengthen the collaboration between the two institutions.
The DRC will develop training material and activities to support two key actions: 1) capacity building in the field of cybersecurity for teaching staff and researchers; and 2) development of a curriculum for an interdisciplinary cybersecurity programme. The training will support the realization of a joint interdisciplinary cybersecurity study programme at the University of Gadjah Mada. Furthermore, the project will support the establishment of a non-degree training course for practitioners, policymakers, decision-makers in public administration, as well as the establishment of a series of informal training programmes for marginalized groups in Indonesia. This will also include aspects of digital literacy and knowledge infrastructures.
For more information about the project and its implementation or the partner institution, please contact us through CfDS (cfds.fisiplol@ugm.ac.id), or Ruth Tarullyna Simanjuntak (ruth.t.s@ugm.ac.id).
