----------------------------------------

The Women's Institute in Summer Enrichment (WISE) is an annual education and outreach program sponsored by the Team for Research in Ubiquitous Secure Technology (TRUST).

WISE is a residential summer program to be held on the University of California, Berkeley campus that brings together graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and faculty from all disciplines who are interested in ubiquitous secure technology and the social, political, and economical ramifications that are associated with this technology. Women are strongly encouraged to attend, though all are welcome.

Thought leaders from academia, industry, and government come to WISE to teach power courses in several disciplines, including computer science, engineering, economics, law, and public policy. The one-week program includes rigorous classes and allows participants to explore topics presented through hands-on experiments and team-based projects.

The objectives of WISE are:

To disseminate the most recent results in cyber security and privacy;
To give enough information to the participants so that they can start a course or a research activity in cyber security and privacy;
To create a network of interested parties in the area of cyber security and privacy
