History of the Computer Science Department at the VU

On 02 May 2025, Prof. Henri Bal retired after being a professor in our department for 27 years. At his retirement symposium, I gave a talk on the history of the department and Henri's role in it. Many people asked me to make a more extensive history and I did. The links are below. The PowerPoint slides are in case you want to include a selection of them in a historical talk you are giving.
