The Student Association for Knowledge in Informatics and Programming at the Department of Applied Information Technology and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Gothenburg Our mission is to offer students opportunities to socialize with people from different programs as a way to create an informal learning environment, where knowledge in IT can be shared.

fun events like gaming nights, competitions and other get-together-events. In addition, we are also hosting workshops and lectures on current trends and topics of IT.
