The first edition of the session took place in 1996 and since then the DEG has been growing. An average of 125 people attended each event, according to the organizer.

The session is attended by people from different areas related to computer science: mainly teaching, industry, administration and the media. In Donostia-San Sebastián, the experiences of computer scientists and the software developed will be reported.

The organizers also claim that technology is a means of penetrating the “organized and sovereign society” and want to launch a debate about it on Thursday.

On the other hand, being a meeting of Basque computer scientists, the exercise of the profession in the Basque language “will also have a place among the topics of the meeting”.
