Committee for the Advancement of Theoretical Computer Science (CATCS) - Overview and Initiatives
CATCS, the Committee for the Advancement of Theoretical Computer Science, plays a crucial role in connecting the TCS community with funding agencies and other research communities. Through various efforts like recruiting, serving on panels, and enhancing TCS entries on Wikipedia, CATCS aims to promote TCS and facilitate communication within the field. Stay updated on upcoming deadlines and involvement opportunities to contribute to the advancement of theoretical computer science.
