EU CyberNet Expert Pool in Review: From a Pool of Experts to a Thriving Expert Community
Over the past year, the EU CyberNet Expert Pool continued to grow not only in size, but in relevance, diversity and real-world engagement. What began as a nascent pool of expertise for EU external cyber capacity building has increasingly evolved into a large and dynamic expert ecosystem: connecting knowledge to needs, fostering peer learning and supporting cybersecurity capacity building worldwide.
The EU CyberNet Expert Pool saw significant growth over the past year, reinforcing its role as a diverse and trusted source of cybersecurity expertise. The geographical and professional diversity enables the European Union to respond flexibly to a wide range of cybersecurity needs across regions and contexts.
571 experts in total
136 new experts joined the pool (35% of them women)
77 countries represented
300 members in Expert Pool LinkedIn group.
From Expertise to Action
EU CyberNet ensures that expertise is not only available but actively mobilised. Over the past year, EU CyberNet and its stakeholders launched over 43 calls for action and deployed more than 53 experts. These demonstrate growing trust in the Expert Pool, its expertise and its ability to match the right expertise with operational needs.
EU CyberNet experts bring together expertise from diverse fields, including cybersecurity, cybercrime, cyber diplomacy, cyber defence, AI, data protection and e-governance. Laid on a framework of 38 skillsets and over 300 specialised skills, the Expert Pool exemplified the power of collaboration across the public and private sectors, academia and civil society.
This EU CyberNet Skillset Framework matters because cyber capacity building fails fast when expertise doesn’t match the mission. It provides a structured, granular way to identify what skills are actually needed – such as technical, legal, policy, operational or strategic – and to deploy experts accordingly.
A Community that Meets, Learns and Discusses
Beyond deployments, EU CyberNet Expert Pool places strong emphasis on building an engaged expert community. There has been 2 expert gatherings in Tallinn and Brussels and 12 Expert Club Meetings addressing topics from post-quantum cryptography to Disinformation and OSINT.
Strengthening expertise also means investing in future capacity and expertise. Over the past year, EU CyberNet welcomed 40 participants to its summer school in Berlin to train their expertise in disinformation in the age of AI. A crash course series was launched in 2025 to offer experts interactive and focused trainings on more technical matters: almost 90 participants improved their skills in countering cyberattacks and disinformation.
EU CyberNet experts’ expertise extends beyond events and missions: with the launch of EU CyberNet Expert Blog Series, experts have platform for translating expert discussions into accessible and lasting resources for the wider cybersecurity community.
Looking Ahead
EU CyberNet Expert Pool is not only expanding, but also becoming more active, interconnected and responsible. With growing and diverse expertise, increasing stakeholder engagement and strong will for learning, the Expert Pool is well positioned to continue supporting cybersecurity capacity building efforts worldwide. EU CyberNet expects growing interest among the European Union institutions and member states, their cyber capacity building efforts and Stakeholders to leverage the Expert Pool for their specific cyber expertise needs.
