DFG-NSF Research Conference Series

Since 2004, the DFG and the National Science Foundation (NSF) have held a series of interdisciplinary symposia, the DFG-NSF Research Conferences. They serve to strengthen cooperation between researchers in Germany and the U.S. and provide an opportunity for networking in a cross-disciplinary context, especially for young scientists.

2021 DFG-NSF Workshop: Cybersecurity and Machine Learning

This Research Conference, originally planned for 2020, turned into a virtual workshop focused primarily on identifying research and collaboration potential at the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning. The ideas and insights from the workshop were captured in the following vision document.
