MPI-SWS researchers awarded ERC Synergy Grant

MPI-SWS directors Peter Druschel and Rupak Majumdar, along with Gerhard Weikum (Scientific Director at the MPI for Informatics) and Michael Backes (MPI-SWS Fellow and Professor at Saarland University), have jointly been awarded the prestigious ERC Synergy Grant.

Over the next six years their project „imPACT: Privacy, Accountability, Compliance, and Trust in Tomorrow’s Internet“ will receive almost 10 million euros, which will allow them to explore how to protect users against eavesdropping and fraud on the Internet without restricting trade, freedom of expression or access to information.
