CODE Conference 2020, !POSTPONED!, Now planned: 10. -12. November

 

Dear participants of the annual CODE conference 2020,

it is my great pleasure to welcome you at the campus of the Bundeswehr University Munich for the annual CODE conference 2020 hosted by our Research Institute for Cyber Defence and Smart Data.

In view of the constantly increasing threat scenarios in the IT sector worldwide, sophisticated concepts of Cyber Security and Cyber Defence are becoming increasingly important. Facing this challenge is CODE’s mission and therefore highly efficient solutions are designed and developed for various application domains in the public and private sector.

In order to promote interdisciplinary networking and the mutual exchange of experts from science, business, politics and public authorities, the CODE Research Institute organizes an annual two-day (this year a three-day) symposium with top-class participants and guests since it was founded in 2013. 

This year, the main conference, probably planned on November 10,  will be dedicated to the German EU Presidency and sets focus on the political side of cybersecurity and digital sovereignty in the EU. We are looking forward to interesting discussions and speeches by high-level EU representatives and experts.

Another highlight of this year's conference will be the Cyber and Information Technology Innovation Conference on November 11, 2020, taking place in its second iteration. CODE is thus treading exciting new paths in establishing a Cyber/IT innovation dialogue and a demand-oriented identification and introduction of IT innovations in the business area of the Federal Ministry of Defence.

I am very pleased about the great interest that the CODE Annual Conference is attracting from politics, industry and society and wish you all three great days with many interesting discussions, new impressions and contacts!

Prof. Dr. Merith Niehuss, President of the Bundeswehr University Munich
