The Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing will hold its first annual Industry Day on Friday, November 7, 2014. The goal of the day is to foster exchange and collaboration between the Institute’s Industrial Partners and the graduate student, postdoctoral and senior researchers at the Institute and on the broader Berkeley campus.
Participation is open to our Industrial Partners and Sponsors. Learn more about our Industrial Partnerships program here, or contact kakane [at] berkeley.edu (subject: Industrial%20Sponsorship) (Kristin Kane) for further information.
