High schools, from all over Denmark, competed yesterday in a qualification tournament to represent Denmark at the international First Global Robot competition. CONGRATULATIONS to the winning team from Aalborg Technical High School. They will compete against 175+ nations at the finals in Dubai.

On October 8th, ALICE will host an afternoon event celebrating both Ada Lovelace, women in STEM, and not least the launch of ALICE.

Congratulations to Peyman Afshani who received the ESA best paper award for Fragile Complexity of Comparison-Based Algorithms at the ALGO 2019 in Munich. In the paper, Afshani et al. initiate a study of algorithms with a focus on the computational complexity of individual elements, and introduce the fragile complexity of comparison-based algorithms as the maximal number of comparisons any individual element takes part in.

One of the most important things to get for a successful start at university is a well-functioning study group. The HatchIt resident UniHelpr has created an algorithm that can assemble study groups based on personality and skills. This year, AU has used the algorithm for more than 2,000 students.

Congratulations to Panos Karras who has been awarded a FTP grant the form of DKK 2.730.196 for this project entitled "Harnessing Influences in Networks".

Then sign up for the Danish championship in programming, which will be hosted at the department on October 5. For more info, see facebook.com/datalogi

Professor Jesper Buus Nielsen gave the opening speech. He gave a talk about the inside of the engine of the third generation blockchains, and the work they are doing at The Concordium Blockchain Research Center at Aarhus University, working with the Concordium Blockchain Network. The network is an example of the upcoming third generation blockchains, types which are driven by science and focus on energy efficiency, speed, scalability, privacy, formal verification, and regulatory compliance.
