Winter School on Digital Trust

The Trust Lab, in collaboration with ACM India, is organising a winter school to create awareness among the undergraduate and postgraduate students about various topics related to Digital Trust. The school will focus on foundational knowledge in Digital Trust, the current state-of-the-art research challenges and opportunities, and future trends. A salient aspect of this school is to emphasise hands-on sessions with suitable lab assignments and case studies.

The school will be held from December 12, 2022 to December 22, 2022 (see below for a detailed schedule).
 The application deadline was November 14, 2022. All selected students will be contacted by email regarding the logistics. The selected students will be asked to pay the registration fee of Rs. 2500 + 18% GST. The students should make their own travel arrangements. Accommodation and meals will be arranged by the Trust Lab free of cost, for the duration of the workshop.

At the completion of the school, a few selected students may be offered internships and/or final semester projects at IIT Bombay Trust Lab.
