Eyvör
National Coordination Centre Iceland (NCC-IS)
A collaborative platform for education, training, and research in the field of cybersecurity in Iceland.
The Eloctronic Communications Office of Iceland (FjECOI) has now assumed leadership of Eyvör NCC-IS, the national cybersecurity competence center in Iceland, and welcomes the changes announced at a meeting of the Minister of Infrastructure with the board, steering committee, and advisory council of Eyvör NCC-IS.
Among the key changes are the appointment of a new board, the signing of updated grant allocation rules for cybersecurity funding, and the decision that the competence center will formally operate under the Icelandic Communications Office.
Eyvör NCC-IS is Iceland’s national cybersecurity competence center, previously known as the collaborative platform for education, training, and research in the field of cybersecurity in Iceland.
The aim of the collaboration is to strengthen national cybersecurity capabilities, support the Icelandic cybersecurity community, and ensure robust European cooperation in the field. Eyvör was established on the basis of EU Regulation 2021/887 and will work closely with the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC).
Eyvör will actively support Icelandic stakeholders from industry, academia, and the public sector in enhancing research, skills, knowledge, and development in cybersecurity. Among its responsibilities are managing cybersecurity grant programs and facilitating access for Icelandic stakeholders to international opportunities.
Eyvör’s core values emphasize supporting companies and institutions through the collective strength of the cybersecurity community and fostering innovation in the field. The organization’s vision is clear: to help Icelandic companies, universities, and researchers become global leaders in cybersecurity.
Through the joint efforts of its partners—and by combining administrative capacity with access to technology and expertise from both the business and research sectors—Eyvör can build and sustain an effective knowledge-based ecosystem for cybersecurity in Iceland.
