E-Voting PhD Seminar

October 8-9, 2015
Copenhagen, Denmark

IT University of Copenhagen – in co-operation with TU Darmstadt, Tallinn University of Technology, Gesellschaft für Informatik, and E-Voting.CC – will host a 2-day PhD seminar on October 8-9, 2015, in Copenhagen.

The seminar focus will be to exchange and discuss current research of PhD students, in particular governance, organisation and technical set-up of both polling station and Internet-based e-voting.

This seminar continues the tradition of PhD workshops on e-voting. Since 2006 the PhD seminars have focused on various aspects of e-voting including technical aspects, identity management, verifiability of the vote, etc. The seminars took place in various locations in Austria, Estonia, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. It will be hosted for the first time in Denmark.

The goal of the seminar series is to foster understanding and collaboration between PhD students from various disciplines working on e-voting. To this end, the program allows plenty of space for discussion and initiating collaboration based on presentations by attendees.

What makes this seminar series special is that it is truly interdisciplinary, where PhD students from legal backgrounds are joined by PhD students with computer science and cryptography backgrounds and by social scientists.

Programme

The programme starts on Thursday, October 8 at 14:00 (local time) and will finish on Friday, October 9.
