Chevening Western Balkans Cyber Security Fellowship

The Chevening Western Balkans Cyber Security Fellowship is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. It is designed for mid-career professionals from the Western Balkans who have demonstrable leadership potential in cyber security or cyber policy. Fellows will gain a deeper understanding of the policy and legislative approaches in cyber security and the corresponding implications for national security, commercial opportunity, crime prevention, and the right to privacy. The fellowship takes place at Cranfield University, at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom (Shrivenham Campus), and offers a unique opportunity for 12 exceptional candidates to develop the leadership skills necessary to tackle evolving cyber threats. Fellows will gain advanced knowledge of cyber security policies and strategies, practical skills in cyber threat assessment, risk management, and legal frameworks, as well as access to a network of cyber security experts and policymakers.
