Credence

The project aims to develop and expand existing collaborations in research and higher education between several partners from Brazil, Canada, USA and Norway. The partnership includes research focused on both technical and socio-technical aspects of dependable and secure computer systems, with particular emphasis on technologies such as blockchain.

Specific activities include organization of workshops and summer schools, development of new and improved curriculum for advanced courses in cutting-edge technologies, research collaboration on master thesis projects, joint supervision of graduate students, as well as personnel mobility for both research and education.

This partnership will enable the research groups at UiS and UiO to improve the quality and efficiency of our research and researcher training both at master and PhD level. Moreover, the Credence partnership will enable an institutionalized collaboration beyond existing personal connections, which will facilitate improved quality and volume of research and education output.

The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway with a 4.5~million NOK grant from the INTPART program.
