The Kosciuszko Institute and CYBERSEC nurture young experts. We carry out and support both internship programmes and thematic projects such as CYBERSEC Young Leaders or Girls Go Cyber. We bring young researchers in analytic work conducted in the Institute in collaboration with leading experts in a given field. The Institute is frequently the place where budding researchers publish their work for the first time or take part as Institute affiliates in expert and scholarly conferences.
Being an independent and non-governmental organisation, we offer young scholars help in research projects conducted under the programmes listed below. On a grant-by-grant basis we provide tutelage or include the research project in the Institute’s activities.
