Every summer we organize a “Demo Day” to showcase our work during the previous 12-month period (link to the previous Demo Days). Next Demo Day will be held on June 20, 2018. This event is part of Helsinki-Aalto Center for Information Security (HAIC) public outreach program and jointly organized by the Secure Systems Group at Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The event is intended to bring local academia and industry together and give them an overview of information security research going on in Finland’s capital area. The event is an excellent opportunity for students and researchers to network and search for open positions within the local infosec industry and academia.

Job offers for students: Since there will be many students attending the Demo Day, we would like to give the opportunity to our industry partners to meet with the students and advertise internship and thesis positions they have open. If you are interested in presenting your company at Demo Day 2018, please send the requested information (PDF and list of names) to our co-ordinator Dr. Niina Idänheimo, Email: niina.idanheimo@aalto.fi. Attending companies (the list will be updated as companies join): Callstats, Nixu, F-Secure, Ericsson, Elisa.

Please note that prior to Demo Day, on June 19, we will have two other interesting talks by renowned researchers in information security and cryptology:
