CRANE is an EPSRC-funded network, to strengthen the UK’s cybersecurity research ecosystem. It will evaluate new technologies and threats, and opportunities for novel research to bring tangible security interventions.
The CRANE network aims to:
- Support, develop and nurture research in cyber security within and across academic disciplines, with transformative challenge from wider stakeholder groups
- Identify and articulate emerging global trends and national strengths
- Support pilot projects that explore novel research which have the potential to develop into full-scale proposals
- Build an inclusive, sustainable research community that supports career development and fosters the exchange of ideas regionally and nationally on all aspects of cyber security
- Serve as a point of access to UK research for business, government and the third sector
