   With the year coming to a close, we reflect on the past twelve months and start a new tradition of an annual report on research, teaching, life, the universe, and everything surrounding the Security and Privacy in Industrial Cooperation (SPICe) group at RWTH Aachen University. While 2024 was characterized by change, especially concerning the composition of the team and our move to temporary offices while the computer science building gets partly renovated, this year focused on consolidation and embarking on new endeavors spanning across research, teaching, and our team. Most notably, on the research side, we again managed to land a paper at USENIX Security 2025 this year and were successful in positioning our research at further high-ranked venues (including IEEE EuroS&P and ACM WiSec). On the teaching side, we bootstrapped a new lecture on Industrial Data Security and kicked-off a project to enhance our lecture on Industrial Network Security with hands-on security training. Strategically growing our team, we are happy to welcome Gabriel from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as an external PhD candidate to the team. Looking back proudly at the past year ourselves, we were honored by various forms of external recognition of our dedication to research and teaching. Besides nominations for the best paper and teaching awards, we are especially proud that the contributions of our students were recognized through multiple awards. We report on these and many more notable events, including a timeline of the year at SPICe, an overview of the projects that kept us busy, a brief summary of the scientific publications documenting our research output, a revisit of our teaching activities, as well as the composition of our team. Wrapping up, we provide an outlook for exciting new endeavors for next year.
