At the ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series, we invite established national and inter­national cybersecurity experts to give us insights into their latest research findings. 

Following a 20-minute lecture and subsequent discussion with the moderator, the speakers will engage in a dialogue with the audience.
After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to talk personally with key players in the field of cybersecurity.

These lectures are open to the public and interested visitors are welcome to attend. However, registration is required.

The event will take place in person in Frankfurt am Main. The event is held at Tech Quartier | Platz der Einheit 2 | 60327 Frankfurt am Main.

Shuttle service from Darmstadt

To make it easier for participants based in Darmstadt to get to the event, we are offering a shuttle service from Darmstadt to Frankfurt and back. The bus will stop at 09:45 AM at the Darmstadtium and at 10:00 AM at Fraunhofer SIT, Rheinstraße 75. The return journey from Frankfurt is scheduled for 2:00 PM.

If you would like to use the shuttle service, please indicate this on the registration form.
