The German-Ukrainian symposium "Defending Data, Connecting Countries: Building Cyber Resilience Together" was held at the University from 30 November to 1 December. The gathering featured lectures and panel discussions which offered attendants an opportunity to exchange knowledge, findings, ideas, best practices, and practical experiences on how online security can be improved in today's rapidly developing technology landscape.
Held to mark International Computer Security Day international, the roundtable was organised by the University of Passau in collaboration with the law faculty of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University (ChNU) (Ukraine) and took place under the auspices of the Passau International Centre for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies (PICAIS).
This successful collaboration demonstrates the commitment on the part of both institutions to drive research in digital security and promote international cooperation. The participation of Ukrainian researchers as co-organisers reaffirms the importance of academic support for researchers in war regions and the promotion of peace through international cooperation.
