On Monday 22nd September, we hosted our 2025 CDT Student Industry Showcase at Bristol Museum. After a welcome from Professor Awais Rashid and Professor Adam Joinson, and industry partner introductions, the showcase included:
- An presentation by our EAG Chair, Andrej Kawalec
- Industry partner presentations
- Table Top Exercise on 'Security and Resilience of Future Digital Infrastructures'
- Lunch and poster presentations from all our student cohorts
- A presentation from our 2024 IRW Challenge Winners
- Announcement of the 2025 IRW Challenge for our new cohort of students
During the 2025 IRW Challenge, the challenge was set for the new student cohort to investigate the feasibility of an Automated CISO to address the challenges of securing ultra-large scale infrastructures.
During the following week, our new CDT cohort (C6) worked in separate teams, initially in Bristol and later in Bath, to develop and present their solutions to members of the CDT Leadership Team and College of Supervisors. The week also enabled the new CDT students to meet potential PhD supervisors and learn about the many active research projects at both universities associated with the CDT programme, as well as getting to know their academic and peer mentors.
