===== Attendance =====

Attendance at the weekly seminar is strongly recommended for all group members and **mandatory** for the following categories:
  * Master’s students actively involved in the lab
  * PhD students
  * Postdocs


Exceptions apply in cases of illness, conference attendance, or other valid reasons.

===== Talk Format =====

Each seminar consists of a **~25 minute talk**, followed by a discussion. The topic should be related to cybersecurity but does not need to be your current research. The ideal topic:
  * Is something you are passionate about.
  * Is accessible to all group members.
  * Is interesting and useful to others.

Talks do not have to be highly technical or niche. Instead, they can very well present a fundamental concept, technique, or technology that might be well-known in one field but less familiar to others in the group.

The seminar will be **held physically on campus** - no hybrid setting will be available for now.

**External speakers** are welcome. If you have a topic or a speaker in mind, please contact the seminar organizer.
