Applications are opened for the Helmut Veith Stipend in Computer Science for Females. The scholarship is available for motivated female students in the field of computer science who pursue (or plan to pursue) one of the Master’s programs in Computer Science at TU Wien taught in English.
The Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) is an initiative of Technische Universität Wien – TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) in Austria. Located at the Faculty of Informatics of TU Wien, the Center is promoting international scientific collaboration in logic and algorithms.
The Helmut Veith Stipend is dedicated to the memory of an outstanding computer scientist who worked in the fields of logic in computer science, computer-aided verification, software engineering, and computer security. Helmut Veith, who tragically passed away in March 2016, was a strong advocate and mentor for women in computer science.
