Student Paper Contest Awards

We are proud to announce the winners of the first Student Paper Contest held by the IEEE Student Branch Klagenfurt. As one highlight of our Christmas Party on December 4th we awarded the winners of the contest. It was a close decision with very good papers submitted. In the end we could only award the best three papers. Instead of having a second and third place we decided to give away two second places due to the close race. The Student Paper Contest was support by the Förderverein Technische Fakultät who donated the price money.

Advent Programming Contest 2013

An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. Advent calendars typically begin on December 1 and provide a window to open until December 24. Usually they have windows, which you can open each day containing some chocolate or other stuff. But what is better to kill some time until Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, Diwali, Boxing Day, etc. than an Advent calendar giving you a programming problem every day?

Scientific Series: Visualizing Data

Workshop Visualizing Data  Graphical representation of data is critical for exploration and explanation of our research results. In this talk we will discuss the principles of data visualisation and ways to achieve graphical excellence.

And the Winner is *** IEEE Student Branch Klagenfurt ***

Yes – that is true we recieved a prize!
At the General Assembly of the IEEE Austria Section in the “Technikum Wien” on the 24th of October it happened.
The Austria section awarded their most active Student Branch. From the five existing branches in Graz, Klagenfurt, Linz, Vienna and Wels the one with the most participants at all  the activities should get the price.
Activites in Graz, Vienna and Wels are minor while in IEEE students in Klagenfurt and Linz are really acitve and both submitted a comprehensive list of activities to the comity.
The comity managed to find a sollution for the related hard desicion problem: The student branches of AAU Klagenfurt and JKU Linz are both awarded the “Most active Student Branch” of the Austria Section and the prize got splitted.

Congratulation to all the SB members, especially the executives!
Thanks a lot for all the organizers and contributers of the events in the past year.
And thanks a lot for all participants of the SB activities.
We hope to see you soon at our upcoming activites. And we wish that the award gives further motivation for all of us to contribute to the SB programm even if we can not expect a Student Branch award next year.
