An international collaboration to address today’s and tomorrow’s most pressing cyber challenges

INCS-CoE Vision

The Vision of the INCS-CoE is to work together in multi-stakeholder environment of Government-Private-Academia collaboration chartered by institutions representing three nations, the USA, the UK, and Japan and creating the environment for collaboration efforts where people meet and work together.

INCS-CoE Mission

The Mission of INCS-CoE is to pioneer efforts worldwide to address challenges created by the growing borderless digital society. Understanding that a single nation-state or one organization will not be able to solve the challenges on its own, the INCS-CoE will start with universities and grow to an academic-government-private collaboration.

Background

The INCS-CoE is bringing together an international group of universities in a pioneering effort to advance international collaboration, recognizing that a single nation-state or a single organization will not be able to solve the problems posed by growing borderless cyber-threats on its own.
Initially, the Center will deal with the common challenges beyond the organizational and national boundaries as more neutral positions providing the place including physical space and facilitation functions.
“Tiger Teams” can be created for the individual projects to address internationally pressing issues.

The INCS-CoE Charter Members are:

– Keio University and Kyushu University in Japan
– Imperial College London and Royal Holloway University of London in the United Kingdom
– UMBC and Northeastern University in the United States

INCS-CoE Member Expansion:

– INCS-CoE is actively working with numerous other Universities across the globe to join the INCS-CoE either as Core Members from the original Member Nations or as Affiliate Members from other Nations.
