Learned Society Formation WG

This is a special Working Group (WG) for coordinating the establishment of a new learned society and will be the successor of the CRANE NetworkPlus, and will take the form of a post-CRANE platform for strengthening the cyber security research ecosystem in the UK and worldwide.

Key aims

  1. Engage with the cyber security research community and other relevant stakeholders to collect opinions and feedback on how the learned society should be formed and operate.
  2. Propose governance, finance, membership, operational models of the learned society and to draft relevant formal documents including the Articles of Association and important bylaws.
  3. Establish the learned society formally as a legal entity and to facilitate close collaboration between CRANE and the established learned society until the end of the funding period.
