Virtual Cipher is pleased to announce our partnership with CIP Gothenburg and Berkeley Universities and participation in the CIP Forum. We participated in the CIP Forum 2020, held virtually at Berkeley in December 2020.
The CIP Forum was held across a number of days and focused on sharing innovative ideas, research, and practical experiences among global actors as we enter into this “brave new world.”
