In 1974, a canonical teaching program for 'Introduction to Computer Science' was established at the University of Vienna, and in 2004, the Faculty of Computer Science was founded at the University of Vienna. In 2024, we celebrate the impressive developments in the discipline computer science at the University of Vienna over this half century. We also reflect on opportunities and challenges, in the present and in the future, especially given the rapid development of computer science, its significance, and its applications.
