BOBCATSSS – Where did the name come from?
The first BOBCATSSS symposium was held in 1993 in cooperation between universities in Budapest, Oslo, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Tampere, Stuttgart, Szombathely and Sheffield – it is from the first letter of each of these cities that BOBCATSSS gets its name! The tradition of holding the conference has been passed on from one university to the next for over 30 years.
