Call for Participants (VGIscience Summer School 2017)

The priority programme VGIscience of the German Research Foundation will 
host a summer school dedicated to Interpretation, Visualisation and 
Social Computing of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). The summer 
school will be held from 11-15 September 2017 at TU Dresden, Germany.

The aim of the summer school is to give PhD students who are at an early 
stage of their academic career insights in to current research topics 
related to geographic information retrieval, geovisual analytics and

including graphical probabilistic models, deep learning, space and time 
extraction, interaction and coordinated views as well as quantitative 
and qualitative methods in social science. The summer school will 
include keynotes and lectures, demonstrations and guided practical 
exercises as well as project related independent group work. The working 
language of the summer school will be English.
