The International Cyber Center at GMU and Center for Security Studies, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland are jointly organizing the Second Workshop on Cyber Security and Global Affairs.  This program will take an interdisciplinary view of cyber security and related global issues.  We will have two types of sessions – plenary sessions and break-out sessions.  The plenary presentations will involve a mix of invited speakers and active discussion among the attendees.  The program is structured to facilitate participant interaction. We plan on a session which will facilitate interaction in small groups.  Except for the break-out sessions there will be no parallel sessions

Workshop Venue

The meetings will be held at the ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) main building (“Hauptgebäude”) located on the ETH central campus in Zurich, Switzerland.  The campus is located in the heart of Zurich – with excellent views of the city, Lake Zurich, and the Swiss Alps. It is within walking distance of the Zurich main train station (“Hauptbahnhof”), the old town, and other key sights and attractions. For a map click here
