6G-PHYSEC

4th Training School on Wireless & Cyber-Physical System Security

We are delighted to invite you to the fourth 6G-PHYSEC Training School! The training school will take place on September 18-19, 2025, at Technical University of Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany.

This training school is dedicated to facilitating an environment where participants can engage with innovative research and development in Physical Layer Security. It will focus on training young researchers to develop a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities of 6G systems, focusing on both vulnerabilities and solutions that leverage physical layer signal properties.

Presentation: 

As a central part of its activities, the COST Action offers primarily young researchers the opportunity to build capacity building on a topic relevant to the theme of the respective COST Action through the delivery of intensive training on a new or emerging subject. This takes place in a Training School, where trainees have the opportunity to meet up with more experienced colleagues and stakeholders in order to exchange ideas on their current and future research projects.

The Training School will be held over two days at Technical University of Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany.

With a focus on “Wireless & Cyber-Physical System Security”, each of the trainers will focus on enhancing the understanding of trustworthy models and metrics, challenges, and opportunities of 6G systems, providing new solutions for addressing security issues, giving examples that are relevant to the thematic areas of this COST Action (such as trustworthiness in 6G systems, trust models for 6G systems, and selected PLS demos).

Who can apply? 

COST training schools are mainly aimed at young researchers (< 40 years old) including Master Students, PhD students and Early Career Investigators (ECI, within 7 years after the PhD). The Training Schools are also open to COST Action members and selected experts or stakeholders. See the Annotated Rules for COST Actions for full details (https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2025/02/COST-094-21-V2.0-Annotated-Rules-for-COST- Actions-Level-C.pdf).
