UC3M hosts T3chFest 2023

The T3chFest 2023 Computer Science and New Technologies Fair will take place on Thursday the 2nd and Friday the 3rd of March at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M)'s Leganés Campus. Organised by UC3M students and alumni with support from the University, more than seventy presentations are planned which will address topics such as accessibility, the digital divide, cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, digital misinformation, the metaverse and the programming or use of Artificial Intelligence in multiple fields. T3chFest is a non-profit event aimed at both students (who have free entry) and professionals in the sector. Its aim is to promote interest in technology and publicise the development and application of the latest trends in the sector. "We are once again organising T3chFest in a face-to-face format after a three-year break due to the pandemic and we are expecting about 2000 attendees, although it will also be openly broadcast online", explain the organisers. The opening talk, which will take place on Thursday the 2nd of March at 9:00, will be given by the president of the Spanish Association of Video Game and Entertainment Software Production and Development Companies (DEV, in its Spanish acronym), Valeria Castro, co-founder of one of Spain's biggest indie video game studios. Subsequently, as a commitment to the fusion of art and technology, in the UC3M Auditorium you will be able to see an extract from the Forms String Quartet work, a concert for a string quartet, electronics and digital imaging created by the audiovisual research studio Playmodes.
