The graduate school “Security for Humans in Cyberspace (SecHuman)” and CASA Cluster of Excellence of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum are looking for participants of the study “Digital Security Abroad”. In an online survey and an interactive workshop study, we want to explore the following questions:
How do international students in Germany feel about digital security and privacy? What are their experiences and concerns? What do they need – or want – to improve?
ARE YOU
- an international student/PhD student enrolled at UA Ruhr (RUB, TU Dortmund, Uni Duisburg-Essen)?
- above the age of 18?
- living in Germany for less than 5 years?
- speaking English fluently?
- not studying Computer Science or related fields?
Then we invite you to take part in our study!
First, you fill in the online survey (approx. 15 min): https://l.rub.de/fc077b32
Then, you can register for an exclusive, interactive workshop study in which you get the chance to work collaboratively and creatively with IT security researchers on a problem of your choice. The workshop takes place on 16th May (3:30 – 5:00 pm) and 17th May (10:00am – 5:00 pm) at the conference centre Beckmanns Hof (RUB). Participation in the workshop will be compensated with 50€ and a goodie-bag, as well as lunch and snacks during the workshop day.
You can register for the workshop here: https://l.rub.de/ab476a0b
