Cyber Thursdays

On the first Thursday of every month, the CyberSchool Consortium hosts Cyber Thursdays, a series of round-table discussions at the heart of the Beaulieu campus in Rennes. Experts share their experiences and unpack the challenges and realities of information systems security. The aim is to offer students a hands-on immersion into the world of cybersecurity, enriching their academic journey. Selected partner organisations are also invited to attend these round tables (by invitation).
