The UK Research Institute in Secure Hardware and Embedded Systems (RISE) will be holding a Summer School & Annual Conference at the University of Birmingham campus on the 30th – 31st July 2024.
The Summer School aims to bring together the UK hardware security community from both academia and industry. The programme will cover two days, with a mix of tutorials, presentations, interactive workshops and updates on the new RISE research projects. A detailed agenda will appear here in due course.
Please note that a limited number bursaries are available for UK-based PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, on a first come first serve basis. Bursaries cover accommodation for 1 night and travel costs. Requests for bursaries should be sent to info@ukrise.org after registering above.
Event Location
The event will be held at the Edgbaston Hotel and Conference Centre, located on the University of Birmingham Campus
