All the past news 19.9.2024 This year, IRIF has set a clear goal: achieving gender parity among 9th-grade interns. This is a real challenge, as the proportion of women in computer science is still significantly lower. That's why we are counting on our networks to attract more female applicants than in previous years! A week in our research lab will give interns the chance to discover the world of research and gain a clearer understanding of what computer science really is. 2.9.2024 Ashwin Nayak (Professor, University of Waterloo) will be visiting IRIF from September to October 2024. His research interests include quantum algorithms, complexity, and communication. He has collaborated extensively with Dr. Frédéric Magniez and other members of IRIF on these topics. Building on their research collaborations, Dr. Magniez and he led an international student exchange program between Canada and a number of EU institutions, and a PICS project between the Institute for Quantum Computing at U. Waterloo and IRIF. Ashwin is looking forward to renewing these ties in the upcoming visit. 29.7.2024 The videoconferencing software 'Galène', developed by Juliusz Chroboczek, IRIF member, was used for the LibrePlanet 2024 conference, organized by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). A feedback report was published on their site: 19.7.2024 The holydays have started and you're already missing science? The rebroadcast of Omer Reingold's talk is now available. His talk was on “The multitude of group affiliations: Algorithmic Fairness, Loss Minimization and Outcome Indistinguishability”. 16.7.2024 Giuseppe Castagna, Pierre-Louis Curien, and Jean-Jacques Lévy all contributed to writing a chapter of the new book “The French School of Programming.” Through a chapter, each of the 13 researchers was able to address the topic of their choice related to programming and software engineering. 11.7.2024 Mark your calendar for September 16th. The Day on Probabilities in Theoretical Computer Science is coming! 7 invited speakers will cover a wide range of areas related to TCS and probabilities, including quantum, cryptography, algorithms, and more. To join us, register (free but mandatory) here: 9.7.2024 Thomas Ehrhard is an invited speaker of the 28th AILA Logic Meeting, which will take place in Udine (Italy) from 3 to 6 September 2024.
