21 of May, 2015 By: Maximilian Müller

Alisa Sotsenko & Maximilian Müller, both PhD students, and Nico Reski, research assistant at CeLeKT, will head out to Europe this summer to participate in summer schools. These events will provide them with the opportunity to gain first-hand experiences and insights on carefully selected topics on the multidisciplinary fields of human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing and urban informatics under the guidance and instructions of distinguished experts. Alisa and Nico will join the 6th International UBI Summer School 2015 (UBISS 2015). Here, they will study, contribute and exchange in workshops with the topics "Sensor-Based Intelligent Mobile Interfaces" and "Web and Open Data for Smart Cities". The University of Oulu will host UBISS 2015 from June 8th to 13th in Oulu, Finland, and invites young researchers to participate in one of four parallel 6-day "hands on" workshops. Maximilian will attend the summer school "Research Methods in Human-Computer Interaction", which will take place at Cyprus University of Technology, Limassol, Cyprus, from July 6th to 10th 2015. The course is co-organised by Cyprus University of Technology's "Cyprus Interaction Lab":http://www.cyprusinteractionlab.com, Tallinn University's "Interaction Design Lab":http://idlab.tlu.ee, "EstCHI":http://www.estchi.org and "Cyprus SIGCHI":http://cyprus.acm.org. As part of the summer school, Maximilian was awarded a scholarship from Cyprus University of Technology, which covers registration fee and accommodation.
