Network Security

Are you interested in understanding how modern networks really work – and how to secure them in practice?

Organised by the Poznan University of Technology, Summer School  – Network Security gives you a solution!

A fully funded Summer School in Network Security is designed for students who want to explore how network infrastructures are built, managed, and protected, combining theoretical knowledge with intensive hands-on experience.

More Than Just Networking!

This Summer School shows that network security is not a single skill, but a combination of:
• networking knowledge,
• system design,
• risk management,
• and modern technological solutions.

You will see how these areas interact and complement each other, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how secure systems are designed and operated in practice.

Financial Support
Participants selected for the programme receive financial support, including:
• Scholarship for stay in Poland
• Travel support depending on country of origin

What You Gain
• practical, hands-on experience in network security,
• understanding of real-world infrastructures,
