As one of the authors of the National Cyber Security Research Agenda, a member of the board of the platform IIP “Veilig Verbonden,” and one of the initiators of the first master’s track in cybersecurity in the Netherlands (Kerckhoff), I have been actively involved from the beginning in promoting and structuring cybersecurity research and education. With my knowledge and experience, I contributed to the success of dcypher between 2016 and 2020. Now, moving forward as one of the initiators of ACCSS.
