The workshop will be organized in collaboration with the Open CSIRT Foundation, Eko-Konnect Research and Education Initiative, a cluster of the Nigerian NREN, the University of Lagos and AfricaConnect2.

All participants who complete the 3 days will receive an official TRANSITS I certificate. Targeted Audience: The primary target is NRENs, especially those participating in the AfricaConnect2 project but applications are also welcome from national CSIRTs/CERTs and network security related organisations who are key stakeholders in the trusted CSIRT community that will emerge in the region.
