Summer Workshops
Workshop 2023
The CySER Summer Workshop 2023 was held for two weeks from May 22 to June 1, 2023 at WSU in Pullman, WA. The workshop featured a wide variety of presentations, tutorials and hands-on experiential learning activities on a range of cybersecurity topics. The workshop also featured three field trips: a full-day trip to Pacific Northwest National Labs in Richland, a half-day trip to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) in Pullman, and a half-day trip to Fairchild Air Force Base outside Spokane. The workshop was held in-person with an option for people to participate virtually. Presentations took place in Todd Hall 203 and the poster session, certificate ceremony, and a teambuilding session were held in Spark G10. Slides, related material, and recordings of all sessions that took place are available here.
