We bring together academic expertise and public administration

In today’s digital age, public administration information systems are constantly exposed to a diverse range of cyber threats that can compromise sensitive citizens' data, disrupt the delivery of critical services, and undermine trust in the state's digital operations. Slovakia is in need of trained experts who understand these threats, know how to prevent them, and can respond professionally when an incident does occur. Furthermore, it requires institutions capable of protecting citizens' data to a degree that meets current technological and regulatory demands.

At this level, a need has arisen to systematise cooperation between academia and public administration. The Technical University of Košice, as the largest technical university in Slovakia and one of only two universities offering a Cyber Security study programme, has assumed responsibility for establishing a workplace to oversee this collaboration. Our mission is not only to transfer knowledge but to build a sustainable ecosystem of cooperation between the university, public administration, and professional communities both in Slovakia and abroad.
