Description
What is CUCSC?
The Canadian Undergraduate Computer Science Conference / Le Congrès Canadien des Étudiants en Informatique (CUCSC / CCÉI) 2018 will be held in the beautiful city of Calgary, Alberta, with the mission to inspire and innovate research happening throughout Computer Science and its related fields. Since 2015, CUCSC / CCÉI has brought together students and guest speakers from all over Canada to present and share their efforts into research projects within the Science, Mathematical, Entrepreneural, and Technological fields.
As we work under this year’s theme, "The Future of Technology", for CUCSC / CCÉI 2018, we aim to motivate undergraduate students to become prospective leaders in the technology sector. This three day event will welcome students from all across Canada. It will showcase research and ideas, and will allow people to come together through interactive workshops and social activities. Sign up today to network, have fun, and learn new ideas!
