About SecHuman
The graduate school SecHuman focuses on technical and social problems of IT security in an inter- and transdisciplinary research environment. In addition to the technological aspects of IT security, we look at the consequences and challenges for people, society and culture in order to develop appropriate solutions. SecHuman is based on an innovative tandem concept: In each tandem, a doctoral student from a technical field works together with a doctoral student from the humanities or social sciences. To ensure the socio-political and also practical relevance of the research, we cooperate with numerous partners from industry, politics and civil society. The graduate school is part of the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security at the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum and is currently represented by Prof. Angela Sasse and Prof. Christof Paar as spokespersons. SecHuman is funded by the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW).
