Escuela Superior Latinoamericana de Informática

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Escuela Superior Latinoamericana de Informática (Latin American School of Informatics, ESLAI) (1986-1990) was an undergraduate school of computer science in Argentina, located at approximately 20 km. from La Plata.

The School had Manuel Sadosky among its main founders. In spite of its short life, it had a considerable impact on informatics teaching and research in Argentina and South America. ESLAI Courses were attended by students from most countries in Latin America. The School established cooperation programs with a number of foreign universities in the Americas as well as in Europe. Those cooperations sponsored important visitors to the School, and enabled its students to attend graduate school at foreign universities.

Without financial support, the ESLAI had to be closed down during the Carlos Menem presidency.
