Opening of the Art Installation Dis/Play

April 20, 2023

On April 20, the festive opening of the artwork "DIS/PLAY" by the artist Ralf Baecker, which was created especially for our Cluster of Excellence, will take place. The site-specific installation extends over the research and work areas of the scientists on the ground floor and second floor of the MC building on the campus of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and makes research topics of the cluster tangible. The work will transform the building into a large distributed computer and screen: Bits and bytes flow through the building, swarms of characters and numbers move through corridors and rooms.

Registration will start soon.

Women in Security and Cryptography Workshop (WISC)

June 27 to 29, 2023

The workshop is aimed at PhD students and outstanding female students in the field of IT security and offers expert presentations and exchanges of senior and junior female researchers in this field. The goal of WISC is to build a strong international network of junior women researchers and create a valuable academic program. WISC is held on a biennial basis. After the WISC had to be held digitally in 2021 due to pandemic, CASA welcomes female scientists in 2023 on-site in Bochum for three exciting days of learning and networking.
