The latest news and insights from Google on security and safety on the Internet
Announcing the Google Security and Privacy Research Awards
November 29, 2018
Posted by Elie Bursztein and Oxana Comanescu, Google Security and Privacy Group
We believe that cutting-edge research plays a key role in advancing the security and privacy of users across the Internet. While we do significant in-house research and engineering to protect users’ data, we maintain strong ties with academic institutions worldwide. We provide seed funding through
faculty research grants
,
cloud credits
to unlock new experiments, and foster active collaborations, including
working with visiting scholars
and
research interns
.
To accelerate the next generation of security and privacy breakthroughs, we recently created the Google Security and Privacy Research Awards program. These awards, selected via internal Google nominations and voting, recognize academic researchers who have made recent, significant contributions to the field.
We’ve been developing this program for several years. It began as a pilot when we awarded researchers for their work in 2016, and we expanded it more broadly for work from 2017. So far, we awarded $1 million dollars to 12 scholars. We are preparing the shortlist for 2018 nominees and will announce the winners next year. In the meantime, we wanted to highlight the previous award winners and the influence they’ve had on the field.
