Role models and inspiration

A Day of Looking Back and Forward

Six groups (teams Babbage, Boole, Gödel, Turing, Shannon, and Simon), composed of Microsoft Research computer scientists and their colleagues from other research organizations, reflected separately about the past 20 years and the future to come, in the context of providing advice to young scientists. Afterwards, participants came together to listen to briefings about the discussions from the chairs of each team.
