From 16 to 23 October 2025, the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA) will host the second edition of Cyber Week. Following last year’s success, we will once again shine a daily spotlight on our teaching and research in the field of cybersecurity through LinkedIn and Instagram. Today’s societal challenges are inseparably linked to digital innovations and technologies. Based in The Hague – the international city of peace, justice and security – FGGA offers a unique environment to explore the impact of cybersecurity and digital developments on crises, governance and politics. Follow along on our social media channels and check the agenda for the upcoming cyber events.
