Cyber Security in the Age of Large-Scale Adversaries

CASA Distinguished Lectures

In our CASA Distinguished Lectures, we welcome selected international and national scientists at the HGI. The lectures of these influential and pioneering guest speakers, usually lasting one hour, are always followed by a discussion with the participants. Our goal is to encourage discussions and open up new perspectives within the field of cybersecurity research.

The lectures usually take place in presence at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. It is also possible to participate digitally in the lectures - they are thus still accessible to interested parties around the world. The access link to the respective event is shared under the information about the speakers.

Some of our Distinguished Lectures can also be viewed in full length on our YouTube channel at any time. To stay informed about the upcoming lectures, please subscribe to our newsletter.
