👉 Thursday Computing, an initiative by the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, is a collaborative research project focused on advancing the field of computer science through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. Launched in 2018, it aims to bridge the gap between theoretical computer science and practical applications by fostering a community of researchers, students, and industry professionals. The project emphasizes tackling real-world challenges, such as artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity, by promoting open research, sharing knowledge, and encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration. It also hosts the annual Thursday Computing conference, where experts present cutting-edge research and engage in discussions on emerging trends. By integrating diverse perspectives and resources, Thursday Computing seeks to accelerate progress in computer science and its impact on society.
