In this series of interviews, we talk to three people who decided to pursue an academic career after studying computer science and are now working as professors. In the first part, Dennis Hofheinz explains why he chose this path and describes the hurdles he had to overcome.
Last year, it was decided that computer science would become a core subject in Swiss baccalaureate schools from the 2024/25 school year onwards. In this conversation, three generations of professors who have committed themselves to this cause look at the past and future of the school subject of computer science.
Every year, a cash prize is awarded from the Fritz Kutter Fund to honour valuable practice-oriented computer science theses. The fund is administered by ETH Zurich, but the prize can be awarded to any graduate of a Swiss university.
