Welcome

Welcome to the website of Back To Basic; the new annual UvA Computer Sciences Event.

Here, UvA students, alumni and researches can meet informally and discuss topics in the broad field that is Computer Science. After our 10-year Anniversary celebration last year IW1010, we got so inspired, and hope you did too, so we would like to continue the open sharing of information and enthusiasm.

Back To Basic will be a yearly event. We will have keynote speakers on hot topics in the field and we welcome companies to present themselves to students, alumni and researchers, so strong working relationships can be found and maintained easily. There will also be ample opportunity to meet with old friends, class mates and co-workers over drinks.

Our next get-together will be on 24 October 2014, 3-7 PM, at Science Park 904. The theme will be Big Data. We would be thrilled to have you with us that day.
