Cyber DiploHack 2015

CSIS Strategic Technologies Program and the Royal Netherlands Embassy would like to invite you to our first-ever cyber policy hackathon on March 27, 2015.

Six university teams based in the United States and Europe will participate in an intensive, scenario-based, policy hackathon to develop new approaches to cyber security and cyber capacity building at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) from March 26-27. With facilitation from CSIS and outside experts, teams will apply creative ideation processes commonly used in technology design to solve a cybersecurity policy challenge.

This event is created with the support of the Royal Netherlands Embassy and the Netherlands Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs. Results from the hackathon will serve as inputs for the Global Cyber Resilience Initiative to be launched April 16-17 at the Global Conference on Cyberspace in The Hague.

As an audience member, you will evaluate the recommendations produced by the university teams, offer feedback, and help determine a winner.

More information about the event can be found on our website.
