Competition in Cyber Security from the Geneva Center for Security Policy and a Prize of 1,000 Swiss Francs

In partnership with the Atlantic Council, the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) hosts one of the eight annual Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenges. The competition will take place virtually, on Zoom from 21-22 April 2022. Students and professionals have a unique opportunity to interact with and receive feedback from expert mentors and high-level cyber professionals while developing valuable skills in policy analysis and presentation.

• 1st place: CHF 1’000 + Special Individual Prize.
• Other awards include:
• Most Creative Policy Response.
• Best Teamwork.
• Best Oral Presentation.
• Best Decision Document.

• The Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge is open to all students currently enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate, professional, or law programme. There are no explicit requirements as to academic discipline, major, coursework topic, or prior experience in cyber conflict necessary to compete, but successful applicants will have a strong link between cyber conflict policy and their current academic interest.
• Each team can include a maximum of four students. Teams which register fewer than four competitors may be considered at the discretion of the Competition Director. There are no requirements for team composition based on the academic majors or education level of team members. Each team must also recruit a faculty member to act as their team coach and mentor. While coaches are not permitted to take part directly in the competition rounds, their participation is necessary to ensure that all teams have access to assistance in crafting their responses.
