The Institute of Computer Science will attend sTARTUp Day 2025

As has become a tradition, this year the Institute of Computer Science will participate in the sTARTUp Day entrepreneurship conference. The conference will take place on 29-31 January in the University of Tartu Academic Sports Club.

The Institute of Computer Science will present some of the great work being done at the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Lab in the demo area. Under the guidance of the lab's students, visitors will be able to take part in Psyrreal, a virtual reality experience mimicking the effects of psychedelics. They will also be able to play computer games created by students, including the University of Tartu-themed game Tiksu-Toksu. In addition, you can learn about the Institute's Industry collaboration opportunities, study programmes, upcoming events, and much more. It's definitely worth stopping by!

On the side enets day, 29 January, we will host a Data Science Seminar "Triple-Helix Collaboration on Data". The seminar will focus on synergies between academia, business and government, known as the 'triple helix' model. The event will bring together academics and representatives from organisations to address the challenges and opportunities of data and collaboration. The event will take place in the Delta study building, with welcome coffee at 15.45 and the seminar starting at 16.15. The event is free for everyone, but registration is required.

On Thursday, January 30, we are organising a workshop in collaboration with EIT Urban Mobility and Stockholm Environment Institute Tallinn titled „Futures Bazaar: Exploring the Future of Sustainable Urban Mobility for Liveable Cities“. We invite students, mobility experts, public and private sector practitioners, academia, and citizens interested in shaping the future of urban mobility to join us at the Delta study building Sandbox room for interesting discussions. The event is free for everyone, but registration is required.

On the last day of the conference on 31 January, Dmytro Fishman, Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the Institute of Computer Science, will take part in a panel discussion titled "From Lab to Market: Debunking Deep Tech Commercialization Myths".

In addition to the Institute of Computer Science, the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Institute of Technology, Tartu Observatory, Solaris, Microbe and material interaction research group, and a many researchers will also be present at the conference.
