The JAACS is the Alumni Association of the three Computer Science Institutes INF, IIUN and DIUF of the Universities of Bern, Neuchâtel, and Fribourg. More information about the association and how to register can be found at https://www.jointalumni.ch/admission. The annual fee is CHF 50. Former members of the INF who join JAACS automatically become members of the Alumni UniBE and benefit from several additional offers and activities.

The JAACS annually awards a prize for the best Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral thesis at the INF, IIUN and DIUF that was defended during the academic year. In 2016, the winners will receive a prize of CHF 128. They are selected by the respective institutes and are presented the award at the institute’s end-of-year event.

Prize Winners

Please note that the joint alumni association will award prizes at the three institutes starting in 2014. Before 2014, the alumni organisation only existed in Bern and therefore prizes were only awarded to Bern students.
