35th Informatics Sciences School - ECI 2022

July 25 to 29, 2022

Buenos Aires, Argentina

IMPORTANT DATES

  26 November 2021: Proposal submission deadline

  End of January 2022: Notification

This is an invitation to submit proposals for courses in all areas of Computer Science to be included in the program of the "35a Escuela de Ciencias Informáticas" - ECI 2022, to be held at Departamento de Computación, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, from July 25th to 29th, 2020. The Escuela de Ciencias Informáticas (ECI) has been held annually at our department since 1987. The goal of ECI is to offer to Computer Science students and practitioners intensive, top-level courses on topics not covered by the regular curricula. These courses are taught by prestigious lecturers from universities and institutions from all around the world. Each year, between 400 and 800 people participate in ECI, taking one, two or three courses each.

COURSE FORMAT

ECI courses last 15 hours in total (3 hours per day from Monday to Friday) and are addressed to advanced undergraduate or graduate students. These courses should include a final evaluation, which can be a take-home to be sent by e-⁠mail to the lecturer. Submissions for courses to be taught in Spanish or English are accepted. The school will cover travel, hotel and local expenses of ECI 2022 lecturers. 

Given the current health crisis, a full decision whether the event will be a physical conference or a virtual one will be taken later this year (around December 2021). Please let us know if a virtual format would be acceptable for your class if needed.
