United by purpose, we’re dedicated to shape a safer cyber future for the Balkans — inspiring young people to explore cybersecurity and turn their passion into purpose and potential.
We are a team of Chevening Cybersecurity Fellows from across the Balkans. The Fellows are professionals with diverse back- grounds in cybersecurity, from ethical hacking and digital forensics to risk management, governance, and cyber education.
This project, Cyber Ready Balkans, is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) through the Chevening Fellowship Programme. It was born from a shared mission: to connect the region, close the gap between education and opportunity, and introduce young people to the world of cybersecurity in a language they understand.
We’ve seen firsthand how many students in Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro have the talent and curiosity, but not the guidance or access to enter this field. Through this project, we aim to change that.
