Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers (like the Abel prize winners from 2022), hackathons and data challenges. Additionally, we organize and host other regular scientific meetings like reading groups, seminars, collaboration sessions and open-problem sessions. The format is flexible to meet the preferences of the participants.
