The CRANE All-Hands meeting is designed to bring the cyber security research community together to share research ideas and help networking to take place. In contrast to classical computer science conferences, it will not feature full peer-reviewed papers or proceedings, but we do invite members of the community to present short talks or posters on their up-to-date research. In this call we are inviting one-page abstracts which will be reviewed for relevance to CRANE. Full submission guidelines are linked to below.
We welcome abstracts relating to any topic area around cyber security. Interdisciplinary research is strongly encouraged.

Presentation formats
There are two submission categories available, and authors may indicate their preferred format at the time of submission:
- Short Presentation – Concise talks lasting 15 mins. We recommend a maximum of two presenters. Presentations will be grouped into hour long sessions which will include time for questions.
- Poster Presentation - If selected, you will be asked to produce an A0 poster for display in the conference venue
Please note that, due to programme capacity constraints, submissions requesting a Short Presentation may be reassigned to a Poster Presentation at the discretion of the review committee.
However, submissions requesting a Poster Presentation will not be considered for a Short Presentation slot.
Authors will be notified of their final presentation format at the time of acceptance.
