The Microsoft Research Academic Research Summit series is a forum to foster meaningful discussion and discussion among the Indian computer science research community and enable collaborations to advance the state of the art and raise the bar on research efforts.<\/p>\n

The Academic Research Summit 2020 will focus on the theme of Security.<\/strong>Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Research (MSR) is organising the fifth edition of the\u00a0Academic Research Summit,\u00a0in partnership with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) India (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> and BITS Pilani Goa. The\u00a0summit will be\u00a0held on the 30th and 31st\u00a0 of January 2020 at the BITS Goa campus.<\/p>\n

The ubiquitous availability of internet access across the world and the exponential growth of connected devices has ushered in a revolutionary information era. While the potential for these capabilities in enabling progress is undisputed, it also brings to the fore\u00a0 issues concerning privacy and security. As the notion of our identity becomes increasingly digital and spans across\u00a0 our personal and professional lives, the threat of\u00a0 this information being compromised also increases manifold.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Academic Research Summit 2019 is focused on the theme of Security <\/strong>and will address topics concerning digital identity, privacy, fairness, etc. The agenda will include keynotes, talks and other tracks from distinguished researchers from India and across the world including Eric Horvitz (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Peter Druschel (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> and others. The range of interests and breadth of technical areas covered will provide a unique experience for attendees.<\/p>\n

More details on the list of speakers, sessions and day-to-day details will be posted here soon.<\/p>\n

Participation at the Academic Research Summit is by invitation only. For any queries, please reach out indiamrc@microsoft.com.<\/p>\n
