The year 2025 brought
#SECUSO many new things: In addition to four new employees and numerous new student assistants who joined our team in 2025, we also expanded our societal
#outreach with the citizens' panel “Wir forschen Digital”. Since November 1, citizens from Karlsruhe are able to register for participation in
#research studies.
