Have a look at the program of the seL4 Summit 2025. We have a great line-up of interesting seL4 work, with a combination of technical research and development, experience reports of seL4 in the field, technical discussions and birds-of-a-feather sessions.
Keynotes
We are pleased to announce that the two keynotes for the seL4 Summit 2025 will be John Hatcliff from Kansas State University and Sebastian Jester from Cyberagentur. John will talk about Model-based Development for seL4 Microkit/Rust with Integrated Formal Methods using HAMR) and Sebastian about Formally verified IT – Germany’s next cybersecurity paradigm.
