Mission and Objectives
Mission
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:
- A foundation for developing practical laboratories and hands-on assignments within four innovative educational modules
- A platform to train academic and technical staff through upskilling initiatives
- A venue for conducting applied research and investigating cyberattacks in emerging technologies
A secure, interconnected platform allowing remote access by all stakeholders via the unified RESec HUB
