Reflections about the integration of global challenges into higher education future programs: Application in the field of ICT security

The paper deals with focusing on EIE higher education to future European and global challenges. There are available many studies oriented to future challenges, future research methodologies and future intelligence systems, but what is evident, all of them report area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as future challenge area. The Millenium project defined 15 Global Challenges assessing the global and local prospects for humanity. The European Commission also defined ICT as challenging area and divided the ICT into eight challenges of strategic interest to European society. All Member States of the EU are responsible for the organization of their education and training systems and the content of teaching programs. But within the European Union, in accordance with Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Union´s role is to contribute to the development of quality education by encouraging cooperation between Member States and, if necessary, by supporting and supplementing their action. The EU identifies “New Skills for New Jobs” as an imperative for the future.
