An important goal of CRANE is to help to enable and promote academic career development in cyber security, recognising the challenges of cross-disciplinary working and the imperative to include many voices in this dialogue.
The Inclusive Careers Working Group is a space where we can come together to discuss how to make cyber security research career development and opportunities accessible to everyone. We aim to create a networking culture that supports all researchers in growing, regardless of their background, identity, or career stage.
Key aims
- Share ideas and best practices for activities that create a network that supports everyone’s career development.
- Talk honestly about where opportunities can sometimes feel limited or hard to access.
- Build networks of different communities passionate about inclusion in cyber security research to discuss issues pertinent to their community.
- Design feedback mechanisms which empower members voices to improve the network.
