Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers, 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.
