As the use of digital applications in our everyday lives grows, so does the demand for privacy and security.

To promote security and privacy in practical applications, Dominique Schröder will join us as Head of the brand-new Research Unit Privacy Enhancing Technologies. We want to extend a warm welcome to all members of TU Wien Informatics 24th Research Unit, who will be starting their work in September!

Curious about Dominique Schröder? Join us on Octover 15, when he will hold his Inaugural Lecture together with Magdalena Ortiz and Emmanuel Sallinger.
