In cooperation with KASTEL Security Research Labs, the Graduate School is organizing the KASTEL Distinguished Lecture Series in Cyber Security. Three times a year, we invite outstanding national and international speakers who provide insight into their cutting-edge research.

The topics covered in the talks will be manifold, spanning the breadth of all disciplines and research domains involved in cyber security research at KIT. Additionally, the Lecture Series is designed to

appeal to the interests of a diverse audience,
advocate for interdisciplinary research, and
strike a balance between academic and industry perspectives.

TBA
