2024-2025 CS-EDI Poster Competition

The school EDI committee would like to run an EDI-themed poster competition during the academic year 2024-2025. The goal is to enhance EDI awareness and foster conversations around EDI topics. Posters aim to voice what really matters to you, and a means to celebrate the value of our diverse background and experiences. The selected posters will be displayed on the school walls and screens.

We welcome entries from all students in Computer Science. Participants can be teams or individuals. Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams. If you want to register interest to the competition or you have any questions, please contact edi-cs@st-andrews.ac.uk. More details can be found https://tinyurl.com/yx63a6sa. The deadline for expressing interest is 11 Oct 2024. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
