The National Science Foundation (NSF) is holding this week a first-ever Principal Investigators’ meeting for its Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program.  From Tuesday through Thursday, nearly 400 academic researchers, industry partners, and Federal agency officials will gather just outside Washington, DC, for discussions about the status of cybersecurity R&D, including recent progress and the large number of opportunities that lie ahead.

According to the meeting website:

“SaTC is an interdisciplinary program including technologists, social scientists, and educators from programs sponsored by the NSF CISE, SBE, and EHR directorates. This PI meeting will encompass all of these perspectives on cybersecurity through plenary talks, breakout sessions, posters, and informal Birds of a Feather gatherings…”

A key component of the PI meeting will be a session titled “Future of Federal Cybersecurity R&D Strategies” that will be webcast live Tuesday from 1:15pm to 3:00pm EDT. In the session, “Senior Federal representatives will review Government activities in implementing the Federal cybersecurity R&D strategic plan and discuss emerging areas in cybersecurity research that may warrant further focus.” To register for the webcast, please click here.
