In the first week of November 2022, the doctoral colleges LogiCS (TU Wien, TU Graz and JKU Linz) and UnRAVeL (RWTH Aachen) held a joint two-day workshop in Vienna. The pre-doc students were able to present their work and exchange ideas during presentations, discussions, and leisure activities. The program was organized by Anna Prianichnikova (Scientific Coordinator), Beatrix Buhl (Office Services), and Georg Weissenbacher (Professor, TU Wien Informatics).

In addition to keynote speeches by Christina Büsing (RWTH) and Stefan Szeider (TU Wien), the program included elevator pitches by the students as well as “speed dating” sessions. LogiCS graduate Anna Lukina gave a talk on Career paths and Success Stories, and four students of each doctoral college had the opportunity to present their work in more detail. In the course of the workshop, the Helmut Veith Stipend was officially awarded to the winners of the last three years. The students also enjoyed the leisure activities which included a guided tour of the Viennese museum Belvedere.
