50 Jaar Computerwetenschappen
In 1974, KU Leuven celebrated the graduation of its pioneering computer science students. Now, in 2024, we look back at the profound impact computer science has had on our lives and we contemplate its future developments.
Throughout 2024, a series of lectures will illuminate our research spanning the past, present, and future. These sessions will delve into the evolution of computer science and its role in shaping society. Moreover, we extend an open invitation to the public to engage with us during the Open Company Day on October 6, 2024, offering the public a chance to explore and understand our research activities firsthand.
