The scheme to recognise Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research is the first in a number of initiatives outlined in Protecting and Promoting the UK in a Digital World, the Governments National Cyber Security Strategy. The chosen universities will benefit from closer collaboration with GCHQ, the UK cyber community and industry; partnership endorsement in associated publications and prospectuses; better understanding of government and industrial cyber issues; helping to formulate the future cyber security research agenda; and extra funding opportunities and 50,000 capital investment.”]
