The International Semantic Web Research School is a full immersion, super intensive one-week experience including lectures and keynotes from outstanding speakers, a “learning by doing” teamwork program on open research problems, under the guidance of the best scientists in the field, with whom you will co-author a white paper of high potential impact. ISWS provides a perfect experience for young scientists and researchers, working in both academia and industry, who want to learn about cutting edge technologies and novel research achievements at the crossing point between Artificial Intelligence and the Semantic Web. The summer school fee is 990€ and includes school materials, accommodation, meals (including gala dinner), excursions and other social activities. Find information on the program, key note speakers and tutors, as compiled by ISWS directors Valentina Presutti and Harald Sack on the summer school’s website

ISWS welcomes applicants from anywhere in the world. Normally, but not exclusively, applicants will be early stage PhD students, post graduate students/practitioners, master students and junior post doc researchers in relevant disciplines with some knowledge of semantic and web technologies. Some basic acquaintance with knowledge representation languages for the Semantic Web (RDF, OWL, etc.) is required. You can apply here
