WEM Cyber participants are matched with cybersecurity experts through the Women4Cyber Foundation ongoing mentorship program.
The matching process is structured and tailored. Mentors provide personal and professional guidance, share their experience of navigating the field, and help mentees identify and work toward concrete career goals. To further support diversity across Europe, the program actively prioritizes women mentors from widening countries.
Mentorship is provided alongside the project, offering participants a sustained support network beyond the secondment itself, with approximately 2 hours per month over a 4-month period.
From service details to protection strategies, we provide clear explanations to help you make informed decisions.
WEM Cyber (Widening Excellence and Mentoring in Cybersecurity) is a Horizon Europe-funded project that supports women in cybersecurity through international secondments, mentorship, coaching, and tailored training.
WEM Cyber secondments are open to women researchers and other R&I personnel, including administrative, managerial, and technical staff who support research and innovation activities within consortium partner organisations and affiliated entities.
WEM Cyber is designed for participants with varying levels of expertise. A skills assessment is conducted before each secondment to understand your technical and soft skills profile, and your personalised development plan is built from there. You do not need to be a senior expert to apply.
You will join the day-to-day work of your host organisation, following agreed goals and milestones set out in your personalised development plan. Expected outputs include contributions to research activities, papers, or methodologies, depending on your profile and the host organisation's focus.
Participants are matched with experienced cybersecurity professionals through the Women4Cyber Foundation mentorship programme. Mentors provide personal and professional guidance throughout the project. The programme prioritises women mentors from widening countries and runs alongside the secondment experience.
