Evaluation Criteria and Submission

We will consider two different types of submissions: 

• Regular papers will be up to 10 pages (excluding references) and will report original research on how cybersecurity and education can support Academia and Industry to reduce the gap between demand (workplace, recruitment) and supply (qualification, training);

• Extended Abstracts will be up to 4 pages (excluding references) and will report novel ideas about the application of the role of cybersecurity education in Academia and Industry.

Both types of submissions, if accepted, will be part of the workshop proceedings (CEUR-WS). 

All submissions should be submitted through Easychair in PDF format using the “CEUR Template” (1 column): https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip

An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at: https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt

All submissions will be subjected to a thorough peer-review process, focusing on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. The workshop will use a double-blind review process, with three members of the program committee reviewing each submitted paper.
