TUCS Distinguished Lecture Series
TUCS Distinguished Lecture Series is a forum for public lectures by outstanding national and international researchers in all aspects of computing, coming both from academia and industry. All lectures are free and open to the public.
Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS) is a joint research institute of University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University. The research activity in TUCS is currently carried out through four research programmes:
- Combinatorics, Complex Systems and Computability
- From Computational Biology and Medical Informatics to Health and Wellbeing
- Resilient IT Infrastructures
- Turku Information Systems Research Alliance
