30 years of education and research on AI in Groningen: A milestone worth celebrating!
Our study program has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years, evolving from its humble beginnings as a small program, “Technische Cognitie Wetenschappen”, educating just 30 students per year to its current status as a thriving institution, welcoming and nurturing the growth of more than 100 students annually.
We are thrilled to mark this special occasion with a dedicated event for current and former students and staff members. Are you one of those? Then please join us in celebrating these remarkable 30 years on the 2nd and 3rd of November.
The 30th anniversary lustrum is organised by the AI department of the RUG. For questions or comments, please contact Marleen Schippers: marleen.schippers@rug.nl
