The second meeting of the project partners took place online.  
The goal of the meeting is to discussion of the implementation of WP2  and WP3 activities and emerging challenges, review the time plan and discuss all other related business.
  • It was presented the proposed contents of the reports R2.1, R2.2, R2.3, curriculum and course description templates. Partners provided their comments and agreed on the content and templates of the reports. There is also a discussion about the requirements for MOOC course content and which virtual learning platforms to use for digitizing courses. It was agreed on minimum requirements for MOOC courses. All universities use Moodle to digitize their courses, so it was agreed to digitize the project's lessons using the Moodle platform.
  • It was presented the main ideas and problems of creating a Federated Cybersecurity Laboratory. The main idea is that in the Federal Laboratory, partners provide access to their universities' virtual laboratories. The main problems are how to implement the Federal Laboratory's single point of access platform (Laboratory Capital) and how to ensure cybersecurity of the use of university laboratories.
    The partners presented users access management tools used by their universities. Universities strictly adhere to their cybersecurity policies and restrict access to external users.
    Therefore, it was agreed to implement flexible access control schemes. The federal laboratory capital is implemented through the project website. User access is managed at two levels:
    1)    Access to the System is granted using a Google account or a user email account, which is approved by the Capital Administrator.
    2)    Access to university resources, the Moodle platform, and Virtual Labs is managed according to the security policies established by each university, through university access control measures.
