LOCATIONS
The CISPA main building is located in Saarbrücken, the capital of Saarland. Four further CISPA locations are based in St. Ingbert, each with its own unique character and purpose. In the near future, we will be moving to our new, state-of-the-art CISPA research campus, which is being developed in St. Ingbert. There, all CISPA researchers and staff will be united in one CISPA homeplace.
We are excited to announce that our new research campus is currently being developed in St. Ingbert. Designed to foster collaboration, creativity, innovation and scientific excellence, the campus will offer an outstanding environment for researchers and professionals from all around the world. In a few years, all CISPA employees in Saarland will finally be united under one single (and extraordinary) roof, providing state-of-the-art research facilities as well as recreational spaces. Innovation finds a home – right in the heart of Europe.

CISPA is located at Saarland University’s east entrance (“Universität Ost”). You can conveniently park your car right outside our main building or use the multistorey car park “Universität Ost” a few hundred meters away.
CISPA established a close partnership with Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) in 2020, focusing on cutting-edge research in Industrial and Usable Security. Two of our research groups are now based in Hanover.
In 2023, CISPA also partnered with TU Dortmund, establishing a branch on campus to further intensify collaboration in key research areas. This cooperation includes joint research and teaching activities, supervision of PhD candidates, and lays the groundwork for joint professorial appointments.
