We hosted our first event of 2021 in the form of a virtual showcase, including presentations from the SPRITE+ funded Challenge Working Groups and Short Project Teams, breakout discussions, Research Snapshots and networking.

Research Snapshot presentations were an integral part of the SPRITE+ Showcase. Through their posters and accompanying lightning talks, presenters had the opportunity to share a snapshot of their research with the SPRITE+ community including academic experts, stakeholders and Project Partners.

We welcomed Research Snapshot presenters representing a range of disciplines relevant to trust, identity, privacy and security in the Digital Economy. See all of the Research Snapshot presentations here.
