On October, 2007, Ricardo Landa Becerra traveled to Chihuahua, Chihuahua in northern México, to attend the XX National and Sixth International Congress on Computer Science organized by the National Association of Educative Institutions in Computer Science (ANIEI for its acronym in Spanish).

Ricardo attended ANIEI'2007 to receive an award for his PhD thesis. He is, in fact, the only member of EVOCINV who has received two awards from ANIEI (he received one for his MSc thesis, back in 2003). Ricardo was awarded the First Place in the National Contest of Theses (in the category of PhD thesis in Computer Science). Needless to say, all of the current and past EVOCINV members we are very proud of his outstanding performance.

EVOCINV sponsored the trip of Ricardo (plane ticket, hotel and travel expenses) as a recognition for his achievement. Additionally, Ricardo received a cash award of $10,000 mexican pesos (about $950 US dollars).

Below, you can see some pictures of the beautiful city of Chihuahua, the Faculty of Engineering of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (where ANIEI'2007 took place) and also from the ceremony where Ricardo received his award.
