Call Open for 2021 Best Practices in Education Award
The 2021 Best Practices in Education Award, sponsored by Microsoft, is devoted to Informatics educational initiatives in the domain of cybersecurity.
As part of its mission of fostering quality in Informatics education, Informatics Europe presents every year its Best Practices in Education Award, which recognizes outstanding European educational initiatives that improve the quality of Informatics teaching and the attractiveness of the discipline, and can be applied beyond their institutions of origin.
On its 11th edition, the 2021 Award is devoted to outstanding European Informatics educational initiatives in the domain of cybersecurity, understood in a broad sense, including related questions such as user empowerment and control of personal data, digital legal education (right to be forgotten, freedom of speech, anonymity versus trust and security, crowdsourcing versus legacy manufacturing, etc.). Experiences in this area, as well as new educational approaches with some evidence of their effectiveness, are welcomed.
