British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science



Summary of Previous Meetings

Note: The first two meetings were held under the title of the British Theoretical Computer Science Colloquium (BTCSC).

Also, the first three meetings did not have invited plenary speakers, though they did have a mix of established researchers giving longer surveys alongside the more usual shorter technical presentations.
