Advances in Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity: Insights from Funded Research Projects – CyFRP 2026
The CyFRP special session aims to facilitate the connection and interaction among research projects, such as national and EU-funded projects. It serves as a medium for participants to engage in discussions about ongoing research and development efforts. The track is designed to foster opportunities for sharing knowledge and technology, identifying common objectives, and establishing the groundwork for potential collaborations. This may include joint initiatives, research proposals, researcher exchanges, or collective participation in events.
We encourage submissions from recently finished projects that have valuable results to share, as well as from newly initiated research projects looking for datasets and tools for their work. The CyFRP special session at EICC 2026 provides an opportunity to:

Submission guidelines
Please follow submission guidelines for EICC 2026. Contrary to the main track, CyFRP special session papers will undergo a single-blind reviewing process. Papers may thus include author names and affiliations, project funding statemetns, institutional review board names, etc.
The CyFRP special session welcomes shorter papers (5 pages or less) in addition to full papers (12-15+ pages) and short papers (6-11 pages).
Submit papers using EasyChair EICC 2026 submission system . Please select the "CyFRP 2026 (special session)" track when submitting your paper.
Publication
Papers will be published by Springer Nature in the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series as part of the EICC 2026 proceedings.
Please note that very short papers (of fewer than 4 pages) may be moved to the back matter. Such papers will neither be available for indexing nor visible as individual papers on Springer Nature Link. They will, however, be listed in the Table of Contents. For details, please see Section 4.2 of Springer's Instructions for Authors .
