A Workshop US-Brazil on Cyber Security and Privacy

本次研讨会的目标是将美国和巴西的网络安全研究人员聚集在一起，讨论该领域的主要挑战，并促进与会者之间的交叉合作和建立联系。研讨会将分两次举行，一次于2015年秋季在巴西举行，另一次于2016年春季在美国举行。与会者将由大约35名来自美国和巴西大学的网络安全和隐私研究人员组成。本次研讨会将邀请来自两国多个子领域的顶尖研究人员分享他们的研究成果，并就该领域的开放性问题集思广益，以促进解决网络安全和隐私问题的创新。与巴西学者就网络安全和隐私问题进行科学讨论，可以提高美国技术在其他国家的知名度和适用性，并增加申请美国本科和研究生课程的学生的多样性。巴西是一个多元化的民主大国，拥有强大的科学实力，这项提议有助于改善两国之间的联系。此外，该研讨会将加强美巴双边教育合作，其中包括巴西科学流动项目，该项目已资助近3万名巴西学生在美国教育机构就读。

The goal of this workshop is to bring together American and Brazilian cyber security researchers to discuss the main challenges of the field, and to promote cross-collaboration and the building of ties among the attendees. The workshop will be organized in two meetings, one in Brazil in the fall of 2015, and one in the US in the spring of 2016. The attendees will be comprised of about 35 American and Brazilian researchers in cyber security and privacy in universities in the US and in Brazil. This workshop promotes innovation in solving cyber security and privacy problems, by having the top researchers from both countries, from several sub-fields sharing their research and brainstorming solutions for open problems in the area. Having a scientific discussion on cyber security and privacy with Brazilian academics can increase the visibility and applicability of American technology in other countries, and increase the diversity of students applying to undergraduate and graduate programs in the US. Brazil is a large a diverse democracy with significant scientific strengths, and this proposal helps improve connections between the two countries. Additionally, this workshop will strengthen the US-Brazil Bilateral Cooperation on Education, which includes the Brazil Scientific Mobility program, which has funded almost 30,000 Brazilian students at various levels in American educational institutions.
