On 21 February 1972, Sven Skyum was the first graduate in computer science from Aarhus University. Last week, we were able to celebrate graduate number 2000 - Lasse Rønne Møller. At the same time, our newer IT-programme IT Product Development could celebrate graduate number 200 - Louise Mathiasen. Not just a big CONGRATULATIONS for the two 'anniversary graduates' but to the entire class of '22. Thank you for 5 good years - we hope you will keep in touch!

On July 1, the Department celebrated our 73 new master graduates in Computer Science and IT Product Development graduates. At the ceremony, Head of Department Kaj Grønbæk welcomed the 50 participating graduates and their families, alumni Aino Corry gave the graduation speech, and Vice-Dean of Education Kristine Kilså presented the graduates with their diploma and specially designed graduation poster. We also got to celebrate graduate #200 in IT Product Development and #2,000 in Computer Science 🎉

Finding out whether a question is too difficult to ever solve efficiently depends on figuring out just how hard it is. Associate professor Srikanth Srinivasan, Nutan Limaye (IT University in Copenhagen) and Sébastien Tavenas (Savoy Mont Blanc University, France) have shown how to do that for a major class of problems. Their results are further elaborated in Quanta Magazine. The research paper also won "Best Paper Award" at the annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) earlier this year.
