The Reach of Technology

SNiC is the largest national Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence conference, organized for and by students. This edition's theme of the conference is AvailabilIT, where we focus on the reach of technology and how it shapes our world. We will explore concepts such as open source software, privacy-enhancing technologies, and information retrieval. During AvailabilIT, you will delve into how these advancements have made technology more available, secure, and beneficial for society.

About SNiC

SNiC, Stichting Nationaal informatica Congres (which can be translated as the Foundation National informatics Congress), was established in December 2004. 9 study associations from cities in the Netherlands are affiliated. The aim of the foundation is to stimulate interest in information and communication technology, and to promote contact between students and the business world.
Every year one of the associations of the foundation organizes a congress with an IT related subject. On November the 25th in 2025, the congress will be organized by the study association I.C.T.S.V. Inter-Actief   from the University of Twente in Enschede.
Visitors are enthusiastic Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence bachelor and master students from all over the Netherlands. Over the past years the congress has grown considerably and we expect around 700 visitors in 2025.
Various talks have been held at the congress by speakers from both the business world and the academic world. The students are challenged to dive into a specific topic from different perspectives. We want to inspire them and invite them to think further than their current views.
In addition, SNiC is a chance for students to speak with many companies during the breaks and the drink at the company fair, to connect with potential employers or to find a thesis or internship spot.
