US Brazil Workshop on Cyber Security and Privacy

Date: Dec 03, 2015 4:30 am – Dec 04, 2015 7:30 pm
Location: Brasilla, Brazil

The goal of this workshop was to bring together, for the first time, American and Brazilian cyber security researchers to discuss the main challenges of the field, and to promote cross-collaboration and the building of ties among the attendees. This workshop promoted innovation in solving cyber security and privacy problems, by having the top researchers in each country, from several sub-fields sharing their research and brainstorming solutions for open problems in the area. It also helped researchers share experiences in education, student recruitment, career development and entrepreneurship, and get involved, together with their students, in international projects.

This workshop helped to identify areas where US and Brazilian researchers are working in related areas that might make future collaborations possible, with the potential for future funding opportunities.

The workshop was organized in two meetings, one in Brazil, and one in the US, and will involve American and Brazilian cybersecurity researchers. The first meeting will be organized by the Brazilian team and will be on December 3-4, 2015 at Brasilia, Brazil. The second meeting will organized by the US team and will be held on April 2016 at the Hyatt in Orlando, FL.
