Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica is counting down to its 75th anniversary and invites you to join them for a special online event on Thursday 11 February.
February 11, 2021
From 14:00 to 17:00
Zoom
Due to restrictions to curb the coronavirus epidemic, CWI will celebrate their anniversary online. You are cordially invited to join our live video stream. They will send out your personal link to the live stream on Wedneday 10 February so please register before 10 February.
One of the programme’s highlights is the interview with CWI former director Jos Baeten in which he will reflect on his personal experiences with computers and computing research.
Founded in 1946 as Mathematisch Centrum, the CWI institute has been the birthplace of numerous scientific breakthroughs, and a breeding ground for talented researchers. During their online event, they will look back on their most remarkable scientific achievements.
But above all, they will look into the future with scientific breakout sessions: what do our scientists see when they look ahead to the future of, for example, artificial intelligence or quantum computing? How do we deal with data in the future? And to what level of security can you make computers safe?
