Chapter Overview

The IEEE German Section – Computer Society Chapter (C16) aims to strengthen the connection between science and business by fostering activities that enhance collaboration and inclusivity. Initiatives to increase the participation of students and researchers are pivotal, including webinars and virtual labs for continuous learning, such as programming language tutorials. Recognizing academic excellence through best thesis awards for bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. projects encourages engagement and growth within the community. Additionally, supporting student branches and organizing conferences provides a platform for like-minded individuals to share their research and address mutual concerns, creating a dynamic and collaborative environment.
