FAF Site

Official website

What is FAF?

FAF represents an English Taught Honor's Program in Computer Science at the Technical University of Moldova. Basically we are a group of enthusiastic and proactive students that try their best.

In order to share things and promote ourselves we decided to lanch our website.
