2023 Helmut Veith Stipend Scholarships – Study In Austria

Applications are open for international students to apply for the 2023 Helmut Veith Stipend Scholarships in Austria. The scholarship program is available to students to enable them to pursue Master’s level programs at the Vienna University of Technology.

Description of the scholarship:

Promoting Outstanding Female Computer Scientists

The Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) offers the Helmut Veith Stipend as a tribute to the prominent computer scientist Helmut Veith.

The stipend supports inclusivity and gender diversity in technological professions, a cause Helmut Veith personally identified with. It is intended to assist female talent in the field of computer science.

The Legacy of Helmut Veith

For his revolutionary work in several areas of computer science, such as logic in computer science, computer-aided verification, software engineering, and computer security, Helmut Veith (1971–2016) is lauded.

Beyond his academic accomplishments, Veith was particularly praised for his ardent support of and guidance for women in computer science. Visit the webpage of his research group FORSYTE to learn more about his work and contributions in-depth.

Programs Offered

These are the subjects that are eligible for study through this scholarship program.

• Computing Science
• System Engineering for Software
• Software Engineering

Benefits of the scholarship

• The Helmut Veith Stipend provides recipients with a yearly sum of EUR 6,000 for up to two years.
• Additionally, these students are exempt from paying any tuition at TU Wien.

Students from abroad who are women are eligible.

Eligibility Requirements

Students who wish to receive this stipend must:

Obtain unconditional acceptance to a master’s degree in computer science offered in English at TU Wien for the academic year 2023–2024. Courses that qualify include:

• Logic and computation master’s
• Business Informatics Master’s
• Master of Technical Informatics in Computer Engineering
• Science of Data Master’s
• Master in Human-Centered Computing and Media
• possess a bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) in mathematics or computer science.

Demonstrate in-depth technical and mathematical understanding, especially in Helmut Veith’s research areas, such as:

• Computer science logic
• Formal Approaches and Validation
• Artificial intelligence’s underlying principles
• Computer programs and complexity theory
• Information Security
• English language proficiency must be shown.

Requirements for Continuing

In order to keep their stipends, students must demonstrate consistent academic growth by earning at least 25 ECTS credits from the master’s program each term and keeping their grade average under 1.5.

Additionally, the stipend requires beneficiaries to stay in Austria for the duration of the program. All exceptions, including internships and research trips, require prior authorization. The money is intended to last for the full 2-year maximum master’s program.

Application Process:

A cover letter, resume, motivational letter, academic transcripts, certificates, information for two referees, an English language competency certificate, and a copy of the candidate’s passport are among the materials that must be submitted by the applicant.

All documents that were not originally written in either German or English must be submitted with a certified translation. Applications should be submitted electronically as one “document.pdf” file to ta.ca.neiwut@avokinhcinairp.anna with the subject “Application”.

Conclusion

In particular, for women working in computer science, the Helmut Veith Stipend acts as a source of motivation in addition to being a financial incentive. The goal of the stipend is to celebrate Helmut Veith’s vision and principles while also highlighting women’s contributions to this dynamic sector.

Application Closing Date

The upcoming stipend application must be submitted by November 30, 2023

About Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms

Technische Universität Wien – TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) launched the Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA). The Center is encouraging international scientific cooperation in logic and algorithms and is situated within the Faculty of Informatics of the Technical University of Vienna.

Additionally, the VCLA outreach programs aim to increase young people’s aspirations for academic careers and to increase public knowledge of the effects of research in the fields of logic, philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. A thorough rundown of all VCLA activity is provided in the annual reports.

Main activities

• the VCLA Workshop Series,
• the VCLA Schools, a series of winter and summer schools,
• the VCLA Visiting Fellows Program,
• the VCLA International Student Awards,
• the Science Education
• Outreach activities

In the presence of Edmund M. Clarke, winner of the Turing Award, and Sabine Seidler, rector of the Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien), the VCLA was formed in September 2011 and formally launched in January 2012. Helmut Veith and Stefan Szeider founded the Center (1971–2016), and they shared leadership of it until Veith’s death in March 2016.

Agata Ciabattoni was elected as the new co-chair in December 2017, and the VCLA board’s composition changed. The Doctoral Program in Logical Methods in Computer Science (LogiCS) provided funding for the VCLA. Typically, other grants and organizations co-finance VCLA’s work.

The annual reports posted here provide a thorough summary of all VCLA activities. Please address any inquiries to Andrea Hackl, the Center’s project and public relations manager.

Organization

The international advisory board’s strategic recommendations are taken into consideration when the executive board, in cooperation with the local advisory board, coordinates VCLA. Stefan Szeider and Agata Ciabattoni are the temporary chairmen.
