INTRODUCTION
On July 01 2022, the School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS) organizes its annual SIKS-day. The location will be Kinepolis Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, Jaarbeursboulevard 300, 3521 BC Utrecht. The main aim of the event is to give SIKS-members, participating in research groups all over the country, the opportunity to meet each other in an informal setting and to inform them about current developments and new activities and plans for the coming year.
All members of our research school (research fellows, honorary members, associated members, and Ph.D.-students), as well as our alumni, are invited to participate.
