CYBER Award for CYBER Students

CYBER: Cyberspace, Behaviour and e-Therapy Erasmus Mundus Joint Master is an innovative program that integrates behavioral and computer sciences to offer a transdisciplinary approach for studying and intervening in human behavior through digital processes, products, and services (PPS). CYBER is a two-year EMJM program that brings together students from two distinct backgrounds: Human Behavior Background (HBB) and Exact Sciences and Engineering Background (EEB). The program is offered by three universities: University Lusófona (Lisbon, Portugal), University of Barcelona (Spain), and Université Paris Cité (France). Students from HBB and EEB backgrounds are paired into teams, known as „CYBER Teams“ (CYBER-T), working collaboratively throughout the program (www.cyber-t.eu).

The CYBER Award for CYBER Students aims to recognize and reward research led by PhD and/or MSc students enrolled in the CYBER program. The research must focus on the use and validation of digital technologies, including VR, AR, XR, and AI, to better understand and/or intervene in human behavior. This award, valued at €250, is open to applicants from both CYBER tracks (HBB and EEB). Applicants must attend Mind XR conference in person and present an oral presentation discussing an original investigation. The award is presented by Professor Pedro Gamito, Head of the CYBER Program.
