EATCS Statement

EATCS Statement

I am honored to have been nominated for the EATCS Council elections. If elected, I would be delighted to contribute to EATCS and work towards enhancing the already high-quality scientific environment of theoretical computer science in Europe. If given the opportunity, my focus would be on the following:

  • working for fair and inclusive reviewing systems for publications (i.e., conferences and journals), grants, prizes, and workshops/seminars
  • pushing for the move from publishers with bad pricing models to non-profit publishers
  • while recognizing the benefits of physical meetings and in-person conferences, supporting measures for a more sustainable behaviour in our area (my group and I are committed to the TCS4future manifesto)
  • representing the algorithm engineering side of theoretical computer science

 

Not reviewing for Elsevier journals; see here why.

Link to a notable article on CS conferences and climate emergency. And to a follow-up article.

Hinweis an Studentinnen und Studenten: bitte beachten Sie auch bei Emails die Minimalregeln der schriftlichen Kommunikation.
