| Description |
Women’s Institute in Summer Enrichment (WISE) is affiliated with the Center for the Team in Research for Ubiquitous Secure Technology (TRUST).
WISE is a residential summer program (July 5-11) on the University of California, Berkeley campus that brings together graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and professors from all disciplines that 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.
Professors from across the country will come to Berkeley to teach power courses in several disciplines, including computer science, economics, law, and electrical engineering. The one-week program includes rigorous classes in the morning, and allows participants to explore through hands-on experiments and team-based projects in the afternoons.
The objectives of the TRUST WISE Institute is:
- 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
Our tuition fee for summer 2006 will be $2,500; however NSF-TRUST fellowships are available to US professors, post-doctoral fellows, and Ph.D. candidates studying at US universities. There is a maximum of 20 fellowships for Ph.D. candidates, post-doctoral fellows, and professors of all levels for the course. The deadline for applications for fellowships was March 31, 2006,
we will be notifying fellowship recipients shortly.
Between 20 and 30 participants will be selected from a nationwide applicant pool of people who have demonstrated outstanding academic talent. Women will be given strong consideration although everyone is encouraged to apply. No prior experience in computer programming, law, or engineering is required, but we expect students to be able to handle college-level material at a rapid pace.
The short courses will provide fundamentals and recent new developments in selected areas of TRUST. Emphasis will be on techniques and theory only recently developed that are not available in texts or standard university courses. The instructors are well-known for their research and teaching.
