Objectives and audience
The goal of Cyber Thursdays is to gather expert insights to provide students with a comprehensive view – both strategic and operational – of the challenges, sectors, and professions in cybersecurity. By broadening their knowledge, these events aim to help future professionals in the field better envision their role in the professional world.
Each roundtable is followed by a convivial moment in the form of a cocktail, promoting more informal exchanges between speakers and students. Accessible only by registration, this format creates a privileged space for more personalised discussions.
Each Cyber Thursday brings together more than a hundred students from six partner institutions: University of Rennes, CentraleSupélec, ESIR, IMT Atlantique, INSA Rennes, and Sciences Po Rennes.
