European Commission grants €4M funding for SECCLO – Master’s Programme in Security and Cloud Computing
Aalto University has received continuing funding for a joint European master’s programme on security and cloud computing. The programme is coordinated by Aalto and operated jointly by six European universities. The funding enables the programme to attract some of the most talented master’s student with a variety of previous experience from around the world.
SECCLO started in 2018, supported by the European Commission funding. The initial grant was for three annual intakes. Now, the recent award 4 million EUR covers four more annual intakes, with the last students to graduate in 2026. The new Erasmus Mundus funding includes 84 scholarships for outstanding European and non-European students for two-year studies in the programme. The European Commission selected 40 such programmes from 100 submitted proposals. SECCLO is a continuation to the very successful NordSecMob – Master’s Programme in Security and Mobile Computing, which ran for 10 years (2006–2015) with more than 200 graduates.
