ICT Research Day 2024
January 31, 2024
Venue: Dipoli, Aalto University, Espoo
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, the Department of Computer Science at Aalto University, and the Department of Information and Communications Engineering at Aalto University arranges a common ICT Research Day in Dipoli, Otaniemi, on Wednesday 31.1.2024 at 11-18.
The aim of the event is for attendees to get an overview of the research undertaken not only in their own department but also in the other two ICT departments. This event also acts as a means to connect master students with research groups they may be interested in.
