JSCU Summerschool: Cyberlympic Challenges 2026 are live!

The new challenges for the AIVD and MIVD JSCU Summerschool are live! Before the Cyberlympic flame is lit, an exciting selection process awaits you. Will you rally your way to the podium with ping-pong, or make your move with backupminton? As a cyber athlete, you know these challenges are just the warm-up for the Cyberlympic Games at the JSCU Summerschool 2026. Solve the challenges and register now!

You now have the chance to spend two weeks this summer in the Cyberlympic Summerschool village. From 27 July to 7 August 2026, the Joint Sigint Cyber Unit will host the 11th edition of the JSCU Summerschool. Learn all about malware, forensics, blue teaming, red teaming, and both organizations. This Summerschool is intended for anyone interested in cybersecurity who wants to improve their technical knowledge and skills.

We aim to create a diverse group of participants, and in recent years we have seen that a balanced gender ratio contributes to a successful Summerschool. Therefore, we would like to make a special call to women: sign up!

Participants are not only evaluated on finding all the flags; we also look at how someone approaches a problem. In your write-up for each challenge, describe what you tried, even if it did not work.

The application period for the JSCU Summerschool runs until 17 May 2026 at 23:59:59.

Interested, but not feeling technical enough to solve the challenges? No worries! We would still like to keep you informed about future events. Send your CV in an email with the subject “Not a hacker, but a dedicated mind-sport athlete!” to the Summerschool email address, and briefly explain where your interests lie.
