Ebco/Epic Visiting Chairs
The School of Computing Science is committed to maintaining a top-ranked research environment, and such an environment requires new ideas, people, and connections to other universities worldwide. The Ebco/Epic Visiting Chairs program supports the School of Computing Science in hosting many scientists of national and international prominence. The program is funded by an endowment from Hugo and Helmut Eppich. The Ebco/Epic endowment is leveraged with research funds from an SFU faculty host and support that the Visitors receive from their home institutions to offer attractive conditions for top-quality outside researchers. The visiting researchers stay for a least a month to collaborate with SFU faculty and students. Each visitor gives a lecture as part of the Ebco/Epic seminar series that brings cutting-edge ideas in computer science to SFU.
