The 2024 Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace Principal Investigators’ Meeting (2024 SaTC PI Meeting) will take place on Wednesday, September 4 and Thursday, September 5, 2024 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA. We request that SaTC PIs plan to attend the entire meeting and book travel accordingly as there are no plans for a virtual aspect of the meeting.
The meeting provides an opportunity for SaTC PIs to meet other SaTC awardees as well as leaders of foundations, government, and industry involved in relevant research and policy areas. This year's PI Meeting represents the 12-year anniversary milestone of the NSF program and will have focused discussions about the future directions of the program among other exciting events. Meeting information will be handled through the meeting website at https://cylab.cmu.edu/satc-pimtg24. This site provides access to the program agenda, program material submission pages, venue/lodging, and other important information.

All PIs of active projects are required to prepare one project poster. Please submit your poster slide here by Friday, August 16, 2024. Collaborative awards (multi-institution, each with unique award numbers) can submit a single joint poster and abstract covering the entire project if desired. The PI of the lead institution is responsible for ensuring that each aspect of the research is covered. If you are a PI with multiple active projects, you will have the opportunity to submit artifacts for up to four projects. Posters should provide an overview of the research topics and results, with effective use of graphics. We ask that you make sure to emphasize the scientific contribution of your project with respect to secure and trustworthy systems, in general, as well as the impact in specific related topic areas. We also hope that you will explain the project as a whole, rather than only a narrow subtopic. It would be particularly helpful if you include the scientific challenge questions being addressed in the project context that will contribute new approaches for SaTC science and engineering. Please use the template below as a guide for preparing your poster.
A total of two poster sessions will be scheduled over the two-day meeting with one on day one and one on day two. Poster sessions will be broken into two groups: A and B. The organizing committee will assign poster sessions to each PI prior to the meeting. We ask that you please do not relocate stands and labels. Group A will be the day one poster session, Group B day two poster session. Volunteers will be on hand to assist PIs with set up and at each session. PIs or alternate(s) are also responsible for:
