Do you have an idea that will make an important contribution to the information security community? Some of the most important work ever presented at Summercon, through any of a zillion other conferences, journals, or whispered in mall food courts around the world, have been entirely self-funded, independent efforts.
Our Chairman Emeritus, Chris Valasek, has had a long history of doing independent work, and had an idea: what if Summercon could help fund this important vehicle for information security innovation?
After a major restructuring of Summercon, we are proud to announce the Summercon Research Grants Program.
Through our two funds-granting sponsors, Capsule8 and Trail of Bits, Summercon can help you realize your security research dreams. Apply today!
When making a submission, make sure under the “Is this submission for a 2019 grant?” section to select the option “Grant Eligible.” The deadline for submission is Jan 15, 2019.
