The Faculty of Computer Science, via its teachers and researchers, is very active internationally: internationally recognized research groups, organization of research seminars to which scientists from other universities are invited in order to promote new research horizons, mobility of our researchers which starts right from the start of their thesis when they travel abroad to take part in international congresses.

International student mobility is an integral part of the program. Students in the 2nd year of the Master 120 in Computer Science program complete a four-quarter internship (in connection with their dissertation) outside the university, most often abroad (in and outside Europe). They are hosted by a company, a laboratory or a research center.

International exposure is also a feature of the courses, through lessons given by visiting international professors or as part of a Francqui Chair.

  • Francqui Chair 2021-2022

"Distributed systems - The next level", Professor Schahram Dustdar, Distributed Systems Group, TU Wien, Austria.

As humans, objects, software and AI continue to become the tangled fabric of distributed systems, systems engineers and researchers face new challenges. In this talk, we analyzed the role of IoT, Edge and Cloud, and AI in the co-evolution of distributed systems for the new decade. We identified the challenges and discussed a roadmap that these new distributed systems need to address. We took a closer look at how a cyber-physical fabric will be complemented by the operationalization of AI to enable end-to-end transparent distributed systems.
