The swiss isogeny day is a recurring meetup of cryptographers working on isogeny-based cryptography in and around Switzerland.
In the past we have had attendees from ENS de Lyon, ENS PSL, EPFL, Ethereum Foundation, ETH Zurich, IBM Research, Inria, KU Leuven, Politecnico di Torino, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Technische Universität München, Université de Neuchâtel Universität der Bundeswehr München, Universität Konstanz, Université Côte D'Azur, Universiy of Colorado Boulder, and University of Zurich.
To register for an event or to get regular updates, please contact swissogeny@defeo.lu.
The next event is not yet planned.
