At the ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series, we invite established national and international cybersecurity experts to give us insights into their latest research findings. The lecture is usually held in English.
Following a 20-minute lecture and subsequent discussion with the moderator, the speakers will engage in a dialogue with the audience.
After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to talk personally with key players in the field of cybersecurity.
These lectures are open to the public and interested visitors are welcome to attend. However, registration is required.
The event will take place in person at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.
