Every year in February, we celebrate the Computer Science Day. The networking event invites all interested parties, RUB members, partners of the faculty and, of course, faculty members to spend an afternoon exploring computer science.
Researchers from the faculty present the latest state of their research in exciting short talks in an entertaining and understandable way. At the get-together afterwards, you can exchange ideas with the speakers and other participants, network and discover overlaps with your area of interest.
