IEEE Cyber Awareness & Research Symposium 2026

The IEEE Cyber Awareness and Research Symposium (CARS) is a premier international conference bringing together researchers, industry leaders, and students from around the world to explore cutting-edge cybersecurity challenges and advancements.

Now in its 6th year, CARS provides a unique platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and hands-on learning in the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and critical infrastructure protection.

In conjunction with IEEE CARS, three co-located conferences are held to further promote interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange across AI-driven research fields. These include the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AI²), spanning all research fields involving AI, including autonomous systems, aerospace, wireless communications, and transportation; the International Conference on Trust, Security, and Resilience in AI-Enabled Smart Grid Systems; and the International Conference on Trustworthy AI in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Technologies (TAIBIOMET 2026).
