The Summer School addresses young researchers with an interest in
interdisciplinary questions in IT security. Leading authorities in the
field of human factors in security will provide an overview of this
growing area and introduce current research topics. The Summer School
presents a unique opportunity to meet fellow researchers with various
backgrounds including technical disciplines, but also from other areas
including law, linguistics, journalism, media studies, education as well
as social science. Over the course of four days, issues related to
usable security will be discussed. The last day will be dedicated to
privacy issues. The lectures will be accompanied by discussion groups
and exercises, which provide an opportunity to gain a more in-depth
understanding and to relate to one’s own research interests. The Summer
School will be held in English with the exception of the last day, when
talks will be in German.
