Get inspired at our new Research Café event series where research comes alive. Ask questions, share ideas, and connect with a community of curious minds.
After more than 12 years, our Café Scientifique series has come to an end. Building on its success, this new series will showcase research from all areas at BU including arts and humanities, alongside science, health, technology, business, and more.
Meet the Researcher
At each event, you will have the chance to meet the researchers behind the project. Gain insights into their research journey, challenges, and discoveries, and enjoy the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about their area of expertise.
In the first talk in our new series, Bournemouth University cybersecurity expert Professor Vasilis Katos will explore how we might help to defend our towns and cities from cyber threats.
How can we help protect our towns and cities from cyberattacks?
Smart cities bring together residents, technology and infrastructure, creating a complex system. With the rise in AI-enabled cyberattacks, which can compromise energy or phone networks for example, it’s becoming increasingly clear that ordinary residents need to help protect smart city services from such cyberattacks.
