??Location:?Austria

Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) is inviting for Helmut Veith Stipend for Women in Computer Science! Apply now!

The Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) is an initiative of Technische Universit?t Wien – TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology). Located at the Faculty of Informatics of TU Wien, the Center is promoting international scientific collaboration in logic and algorithms. Moreover, the VCLA outreach activities are aimed towards raising aspirations of young people for academic pursuits and to raise awareness on the impact of the research done in the areas of logic, philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence among the general public alike.

The annual reports offer a detailed overview of all VCLA activities. The VCLA invites motivated and outstanding female students in the field of computer science (CS) who pursue (or plan to pursue) one of the master‘s programs in Computer Science at TU Wien taught in English in one of the following semesters:

• Winter semester 2021/2022
• Summer semester 2022

and have (or have the interest to develop) a solid mathematical and technical background in at least one of the areas in which Austrian scientist Helmut Veith worked, to apply for the annually awarded Helmut Veith Stipend.

The Helmut Veith Stipend?is awarded annually to exceptionally talented and 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 and have (or have the interest to develop) a solid mathematical and technical background in at least one of the areas in which Austrian scientist Helmut Veith worked. The Helmut Veith Stipend is dedicated to the memory of Helmut Veith (1971-2016), 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.

??Benefits

Students who are awarded the Helmut Veith Stipend, receive:

• EUR 6000?annually for a duration of up to two years
• Waiver of all tuition fees at TU Wien
