CYRENZH: Workshop on Cyber Clinics

The mission of CYRENZH , a project of DSI Community Cybersecurity, is to establish a structure that can sustainably increase the cyber resilience in the Canton of Zurich, thereby strengthening and protecting its economy and society.

For that reason, the project team is currently working to establish a joint UZH/ZHAW «cyber clinic» which will leverage the skills of university students to increase the cyber hygiene of eligible organizations. The team currently views the scope of the cyber clinics as strictly preventative and wants to permanently integrate them into the respective university structures. Extending this partnership to other local partners like the ETH is also a possibility they are exploring.

To ensure sustainable engagement in the clinics, it is important to understand the needs and interests of the designated stakeholders who will be involved in the Clinics – Students (who will provide the services), Clients (who will receive services), and Facilitators (who will coordinate and manage the Clinic activities, give lectures, supervise students, and ensure overall quality control).

Central questions the project team wants to answer at this stage are: What services should we offer? How can cyber clinics be sustainably integrated into existing and developing curricula? Who can teach courses and supervise students? In general, what motivates stakeholders – students, prospective clients, and facilitators – to support and participate in this initiative?

For this purpose, the team will conduct a workshop in the annual CYRENZH «Shaping the Roadmap» event.
