Transylvania University of Brasov, with the support of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, together with the Caucasus University and the Scientific Cybersecurity Association, is running an online Python and Cybersecurity competition called "Python and Cybersecurity Battle". Schoolchildren and students from any country can participate in the competition.

Participants should create teams of 2-3 students who will present their ideas, projects, software systems.

The following can participate in the competition:

• Schoolchildren belonging to the age group of 14-19 years. They should form groups of 2-3 students and present their projects during the competition.
