CRANE

• What is the event about? 

CRANE is a UKRI-EPSRC funded network established to strengthen and unify the UK’s cybersecurity research ecosystem. The network’s mission is to support, develop and nurture high-impact cybersecurity research across disciplines, while fostering challenge and insight from diverse stakeholder groups including academia, industry, government and the third sector. CRANE works to identify emerging trends and national research strengths, support pilot projects, and build an inclusive, sustainable research community that promotes career development and the exchange of ideas. 

A cornerstone of CRANE’s activities is its annual All-Hands meeting, at which we will bring together the entire network community to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, spark new ideas, and strengthen connections across research areas. 

This meeting is open to CRANE members, if you are not a member please  join via our website before registering for this event:  https://www.crane.ac.uk/crane/join/
