The Austrian Computer Science Day (ACSD) is an annual event that brings together computer scientists from all over Austria. Join us and take the opportunity to network, exchange research ideas and get introduced to both junior and senior researchers.

The award ceremony for the Heinz Zemanek Preis 2026 will take place right in the beginning of the ACSD 2026, as visible in the program below.
