The last time we organized an event in Edinburgh was nine years ago. That Computing Systems Week is for me still the most influential in the history of HiPEAC. First of all, during that event we decided to move to a journal-first publication model for the HiPEAC conference, and to transform the conference from a publication event into a networking event. In 2012, we organized the first journal-first conference in Paris, and its attendance surpassed all our expectations. Instead of 200 attendees, we attracted more than 500. The hotel could barely host so many people. The journal we started collaborating with saw its number of submissions more than quadruple. It was clear that this was a transition the community had been waiting for. Since then, many conferences have been thinking about their publication model. HiPEAC is the European network on At the same Computing Systems Week, I was inspired by the keynote by Colin Adams high performance and embedded architecture and compilation. about a project to make computer science students more entrepreneurial. In 2012, we officially started a student-entrepreneurship programme at Ghent University. After seven years, it has grown to be the largest such programme in Belgium, generating around 200 student enterprises every year in the city of Ghent. In 2018, we managed to convince the hipeac.net Belgian government to change the tax law to remove the fiscal discrimination between a student with a job and a self-employed student. Today, the higher education institutions @hipeac hipeac.net/linkedin in Ghent have a total of 10 business coaches working with students seeking advice for an entrepreneurial idea. The Flemish government decided this spring to make basic HiPEAC has received funding from the European Union’s entrepreneurial education compulsory in all study programmes of higher education.
