The week-long SUMMER SCHOOL features a diverse scientific program that
will introduce you to the state of the art in Visual Computing and
provide a platform to present and discuss your research. The program
includes lectures from international speakers, research talks by
established scientists, demos and technical presentations of
application-driven research projects, how-to sessions on thesis writing,
the opportunity to give a talk about your research, and a poster session
to showcase your results. Use this chance to expand your knowledge on
Visual Computing, to receive expert feedback on your research, to
establish contacts and grow your professional network, and to get your
research reviewed and published as a paper in the SUMMER SCHOOL proceedings.

is accepted no later than July 27, 2015. The number of participants is
limited to 40 researchers.

/During the SUMMER SCHOOL/ - Bring a poster on your research topic and
prepare a short talk about it (max. 15 min). You are invited to bring an
interactive demo - e.g., a software or hardware prototype - to accompany
your poster and your talk.

/After the SUMMER SCHOOL/ - Submit an original research paper (max. 10
