What is the Inform Prize?

Running since 2014, the Inform Prize gives Computer Science students a platform to present their software development projects to industry, compete for prizes, and connect with professionals looking for the next generation of talent. This year, we aim to expand the number of competing teams to be the biggest in the competition's 12-year history.

When and where?
