10 NuSec Network PDRA Recipients Confirmed

Following an external competition, we have made 10 PDRA awards worth up to £15,000 each,  to 8 Universities  to support research in a range of NuSec Network Security Topics lasting 3-6 months.

PDRAs will report their findings in Spring 2019 and some will be selected to present at our Nuclear Security Detection Workshop, University of Surrey 15-16 April 2019.

Registrations for our workshop are now open, those who register before 31st January 2019 will qualify for an early registration booking discount. To register for this event please proceed to the University of Surrey online store.
