ANIEI'2005 (Torreón, Coahuila, México), October 2005.




On October, 2005, three members of EVOCINV (Efrén Mezura Montes, Nareli Cruz Cortés and Antonio López Jaimes) traveled to Torreón, Coahuila, in northern Mexico, to attend the XVIII National Congress and Fourth International Congress on Computer Science organized by the National Association of Educative Institutions in Computer Science (ANIEI for its acronym in Spanish).

The above EVOCINV members attended ANIEI'2005 in order to receive awards for their theses. Efrén was awarded the First Place in the National Contest of Theses (in the category of PhD thesis in Computer Science), and Nareli was awarded the Second Place. Antonio was awarded the Second Place in the category of Masters theses in Computer Science. These three awards (an unprecedented achievement for EVOCINV) made us feel very proud at CINVESTAV.

EVOCINV sponsored the trip of the three above winners (plane ticket, hotel and travel expenses) as a recognition for their achievement. Additionally, Efrén received a cash award of $10,000 mexican pesos (about $1,000 US dollars).

Below, you can see some pictures of the beautiful city of Torreón and also from the ceremony where these guys received their awards.
