Cybersecurity: where academic research meets industry

This event shows emerging challenges within the domain of cybersecurity and privacy that bootstrapped concrete research collaborations between academia and industry. The collaborations occur within the scope of various technology transfer projects (VELCRO, DASH, RUSTiec and CoAssurance) and ICON projects (TRUSTI and CoCoNUT) funded by VLAIO. More info about the projects can be found here. The event takes place in WATT the Firms in Ghent which is very near to KULeuven technology campus Gent, where DistriNet researchers participate actively in each of the aforementioned projects.
