The Society

The Cambridge University Computing and Technology Society is the main university-wide student society for those taking interest in computer science and technology. Our primary events are a series of talks held by invited speakers on a relevant area of their expertise, which are open to all members of the university. Our speakers have included leading academics in their fields, as well as highly successful entrepreneurs representing technological companies. Past speakers include Dr Steven Hand of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, and Dr Andrew Herbert, Managing Director of Microsoft Research Europe.

Our talks are open to all members of the University, and aim to be accessible to interested undergraduates as well as interesting to more expert members of the audience. Details of upcoming talks and events may be viewed here.

We also hold a series of social events for members, such as a yearly Freshers' Squash, a Social and a Garden Party in the summer. This year, we are also planning to conduct a team Scavenger Hunt at the end of Lent Term.
