Summer School 2023

The CASA Summer School 2023 on Software Security covers topics in software testing, automatic vulnerability discovery, static program analysis, fuzzing, human factors of usable security and privacy, and advanced exploitation.

Software security is a complex and interdisciplinary field that requires knowledge in many areas. Therefore, the summer school brings together experts and students from computer science, software engineering, human behavior, and other related fields to provide a comprehensive view on the latest research and trends in software security.

The three-day program of the summer school includes keynotes from renowned researchers, working groups and tutorials, as well as social events. It provides an excellent opportunity for interested students to become more familiar with current research, trends, and opportunities in software security, gain hands-on experience, and network with experts in the field from around the world.
