The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the Institute
of Computer Science (ICS) of the Foundation for Research and Technology -
Hellas (FORTH) invite you to the jointly organised 2nd ENISA-FORTH Summer
School on Network and Information Security (NIS'09).  Following the success of
NIS'08, this year's summer school will take place in Crete, Greece, between the
14th and the 18th of September 2009, with the special theme "Privacy and Trust
in a Networked World". An exciting programme is being prepared, where invited
lecturers will cover a range of topics extending beyond pure technological
areas towards economic, policy, and legal issues.

Network and Information Security (NIS) has emerged as a fundamental aspect of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and its widespread adoption
for improving productivity, learning, and leisure.  While creating new
opportunities for growth in European economy and for improving quality of life
for its citizens, constant advances in ICT pose new challenges to NIS,
requiring a high-level of alertness, solid understanding of technology and
trends, and continuous adjustment of strategic options. Therefore, raising
awareness and understanding on the issues involved is of paramount importance.

Recognising the importance of NIS and the need for raising awareness, ENISA and
FORTH have taken the initiative to create this Summer School.  The Summer
School aims to provide a forum for experts in Information Security, policy
makers from EU Member States and EU Institutions, decision makers from the
industry, as well as members of the research and academic community, for
interacting on cutting-edge and interesting topics in Network and Information
Security.
