Meet your future: Green-IT networking event for students a success
Students and industrial partners were enthusiastic about a networking event that was organized on November 14, 2013 by the Computer Science department (dr. Patricia Lago, Software and Services) in collaboration with the Network Institute. Representatives of various green-IT companies got to meet students from various Masters programmes from VU and UvA.

The event was a great success: both participating companies and students have enthusiastically commented on the inspiring initiative. After the event, drinks lasted until 8 PM, with students discussing opportunities for internships and collaboration between our students and our industrial partners.
