On August 12, the 5-day “System Security Summer School” of the CSRC of Zhejiang University officially kicked off in expectations. This “System Security Summer School” was hosted by the Cyber Security Research Center for the first time. 16 experts and scholars with outstanding research in the field of system security were invited to report on this topic through the online platform Zoom. By using the Zoom online platform, the basic knowledge of system safety and the latest research progress were taught and discussed respectively. Besides, It has successfully attracted nearly 500 experts, scholars, teachers and students from top universities in this field from home and abroad.
