European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
The European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS[1]) is an international organization with a European focus, founded in 1972. Its aim is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and results among theoretical computer scientists as well as to stimulate cooperation between the theoretical and the practical community in computer science.
The major activities of the EATCS are:
- Organization of ICALP, the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming;[2]
- Publication of the Bulletin of the EATCS;
- Publication of a series of monographs[3][4] and texts[5] on theoretical computer science;
- Publication of the journal Theoretical Computer Science;[2]
- Publication of the journal Fundamenta Informaticae.

Presburger Award#edit
Starting in 2010, the European Association of Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) confers each year at the conference ICALP the Presburger Award to a young scientist (in exceptional cases to several young scientists) for outstanding contributions in theoretical computer science, documented by a published paper or a series of published papers. The award is named after Mojzesz Presburger who accomplished his path-breaking work on decidability of the theory of addition (which today is called Presburger arithmetic) as a student in 1929. The complete list of the winners[7] is given below:
| Year | Awarded | Place |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Shayan Oveis Gharan | ICALP (Glasgow) |
| 2020 | Dmitriy Zhuk | ICALP (Saarbrücken/online) |
| 2019 | Karl Bringmann, Kasper Green Larsen | ICALP (Patras) |
| 2018 | Aleksander Mądry | ICALP (Prague) |
| 2017 | Alexandra Silva | ICALP (Warsaw) |
| 2016 | Mark Braverman | ICALP (Rome) |

| 2014 | David Woodruff | ICALP (Copenhagen) |
| 2013 | Erik Demaine | ICALP (Riga) |
| 2012 | Venkatesan Guruswami, Mihai Patrascu | ICALP (Warwick) |
| 2011 | Patricia Bouyer-Decitre | ICALP (Zürich) |
| 2010 | Mikołaj Bojańczyk | ICALP (Bordeaux) |
EATCS Fellows#edit
The EATCS Fellows Program[8] has been established by the Association to recognize outstanding EATCS Members for their scientific achievements in the field of Theoretical Computer Science. The Fellow status is conferred by the EATCS Fellows-Selection Committee upon a person having a track record of intellectual and organizational leadership within the EATCS community. Fellows are expected to be “model citizens” of the TCS community, helping to develop the standing of TCS beyond the frontiers of the community.
