From Concept to Classroom: Behind the Winter School. Co-organiser perspective.
Following the reflections from participants of the EU CyberNet Winter School 2026, we turn spotlight to people behind designing and delivering this iteration. From curriculum development to practical exercises and real-world case studies, instructors and co-organiser played a central role with the EU CyberNet team in shaping this learning expertise.
We discussed with them the reasons behind their involvement and what challenges cybersecurity professionals face today and how trainings like this help to become more resilient. Firstly, we’ll turn to co-organiser Aleksi Rantaniemi from Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency and NSCS-FI.
About
The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom ensures smooth, sustainable, safe and secure transport and communications connections and services, and promotes cyber security in Finland. Traficom is an authority serving people and businesses in licence, registration and supervisory matters. Traficom employs about 1000 experts in 15 locations across Finland.
Why did Traficom decide to join forces with EU CyberNet for the first Winter School? What were key factors convinced you to become a partner?
We decided to partner up with EU CyberNet because of its strong reputation as a trusted platform for fostering international cooperation and capacity building in cybersecurity. EU CyberNet allows us to reach a wider and more diverse international audience and share our expertise internationally. We are constantly seeking opportunities to help Finnish organisations find partners and participate in international projects, and to that end, we find EUCN an extremely valuable partner.
How do you see the knowledge and insights gained through the Winter School being applied by colleagues at Traficom, as well as benefiting colleagues across other Finnish organisations?
I am absolutely positive that my colleagues at Traficom as well as other Finnish organisations gained a lot of new expertise on crisis communications and how to deal with rapidly changing, high-stress situations. Furthermore, they are able to apply this expertise not only to their own work, but also to spread this knowledge and train their colleagues in their respective organisations. Therefore, in addition to what I said earlier about what we are trying to achieve with our international partners, the Winter School has been a highly valuable experience also internally.
What do you think are the current challenges in cybersecurity that you face? What are the most pressing issues in your daily line of work?
The national cybersecurity centre, of course, has the front row seat in witnessing a broad spectrum of challenges and cybersecurity threats, ranging from the more ‘traditional’ threats to the ones emerging from the most cutting-edge technologies. My line of work focuses on capacity building, and in the modern, rapidly changing environment, the need for international collaboration is highlighted and this is where the partnership with EUCN can have a significant impact.
What would you recommend to future EU CyberNet Winter or Summer Schools’ partners?
Partnering with EU CyberNet has been a great decision. Organising a training such as the Winter School with the highly professional team of EU CyberNet is a smooth and excellently coordinated process throughout. The contents of the event can be tailored to the needs of each partner and we had the opportunity to bring our experts into the training and have keynote speakers from our organisation, giving us the opportunity to highlight our expertise.
What’s one thing that’s stuck with you from this year’s Winter School?
What particularly stood out for me was the openness and the sense of community among the participants. Discussions highlighted the willingness of the diverse group of experts to share their expertise and help colleagues across the world in their capacity building efforts. So, in addition to the high quality programme composed by EU CyberNet, it is the wonderful group of people from the EU CyberNet Expert Pool that made EU CyberNet Winter School truly a unique event.
