It is my pleasure to write to you in the name of the newly elected committee: Lize (the President), Pavol (the Treasurer) and me, the society's Secretary. We have a wealth of news to convey in this hopefully short and comprehensible email, so without a further delay, let's get to the point:))
Hosted by Citadel LLC and Citadel Securities in partnership with Correlation One, the Data Open is inviting students in Europe to virtually compete at Europe Regional Datathon this Fall!
The Data Open challenges students from the world's best universities to tackle real-world social challenges in topics such as urban traffic, renewable energy, and education. Top performing students have the opportunity to win USD$15,000 in cash prizes, exclusive recruiting opportunities with Citadel, and global recognition.
Taking place between November 1st and 8th, teams will have a week to work on their submissions, with the flexibility to showcase their skills on their own schedule. Europe Datathon is a regional data science competition, so it will be more exciting than our university-wide events and will bring the best students across Europe together!
Who: Undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D., and post-doc researchers
When: November 1-8 (flexible structure, so that teams will be able to work anytime during the week to accommodate their schedules)
Where: Virtual
Prizes: USD$15,000 + Exclusive recruiting opportunities with Citadel LLC and Citadel Securities
Here's the link to sign up!
Admissions are made on a rolling basis, so I encourage you to apply now!
If you have any questions or want to learn more about the event, contact mert@correlationone.com. We look forward to receiving your application.
Best,

Name of talk
Software Design Dilemmas: Choices We Make in a System With Over Two Million Hits a Day
About the event
Design analysis and large-scale development have been identified as two of the five subjects lacking in computer science education.
As graduates, we found it challenging to speak up in system design discussions. Today’s remote working environment has made meeting participation even more challenging. In fact, 45% of women leaders say it is difficult for women to speak up in virtual meetings.
Get a head start in your career by learning tips about dealing with dilemmas when designing large-scale systems.
