DEADLINE EXTENDED to Friday 31st October, 09.00 GMT.
CRANE exists to strengthen the cyber security research community. One of the ways we are doing this is to support the creation of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Working Groups (WGs) around topics of interest identified by the community. These will complement other activities and projects arising from CRANE’s strategic analysis of trends and needs. Based on topics identified, CRANE will support larger workshops, and calls for small pilot projects.
We invite members of the research community to propose the formation of groups, with aims such as:
- scoping the translation of research into practice.
- exploration of a research topic where a nascent UK research community already exists but would benefit from additional focus;
- continuing (coordinating) a programme of research begun elsewhere;
- initial discussions of an emerging research theme;
- preparation of a proposal for a substantive research project (e.g. a Platform Grant);
- defining pilot studies which may lead to a more substantial research agenda
- developing understanding of the research needs of a particular sector or application domain;
