FMFI UK AI Alumni & Friends

News

March 1, 2009
launch of the network website. You are invited to join!


AI Alumni & Friends is an informal social network of alumni, students, staff and other friends of artificial intelligence at Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Artificial Intelligence education at Comenius University relies on a tradition reaching to 80's of the last century. AI education was traditionally, since 1988, provided by Institute of Informatics associated with FMFI UK, which was later incorporated into the newly created Department of Applied Informatics. Even though, except for short period at the beginning of 90's, artificial intelligence did not have its own department, this specialisation was always attracting enthusiastic students. Many of them later successfully continued their scientific research careers on universities, research institutes and industry all around the world.

Ambitions and aims

The main aim of the AI Alumni & Friends network is to facilitate contact and interaction of AI alumni as well as associated AI enthusiasts with their Alma Mater, its current students, faculty and staff.

Social contacts are, and always were, the best tool for job search and professional career advancement. Contacts with alumni, still active in the field in various research or industry positions at home as well as abroad, can therefore help the current students find their own way towards their future professional career.

Last, but not least, the AI Alumni & Friends network has an ambition to represent the quality of Artificial Intelligence education at FMFI UK and thus also atract new and motivate current students of FMFI UK to join the family of AI enthusiasts around the study programme.
