The Jacques Morgenstern Colloquium is a series of monthly lectures that started in 2002. Its purpose is to give a broad vision of the most active and promising advances in Information Sciences and Technology (IST). The lectures cover current research, new applications, as well as industrial and social challenges. The invited speakers are established senior experts of international stature in computer science, mathematics, and other fields where IST plays a crucial role. The colloquium is addressed to all researchers, engineers and students who want to better understand the future of IST. It is intended to create awareness and interest and to promote interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations. The colloquium is part of the training at Ecole Doctorale STIC. The colloquium is named after Jacques Morgenstern, a professor of mathematics at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis and one of the pioneers in algebraic complexity and computer algebra. He headed a joint team of CNRS, Inria and the University of Nice until he died tragically in 1994.
