The SECURE (Security Education Center for Unified Resilience & Effective Communications) project aims to establish two advanced Research & Education Hubs (R&EHubs) — one in Ukraine and one in Georgia — drawing upon EU university best practices. Each hub will host three cutting-edge virtual laboratories specializing in cybersecurity for 5G and next-generation networks. These R&EHubs will serve as:
