Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we will unfortunately not be able to hold the Web Science Summer School 2020 (WWSSS2020). Given the current situation and our beliefs that a Summer School lives from the personal interaction among its participants, there is nothing we can do about it. After consulting the Web Science Trust (WST), we have decided to postpone the event by one year in the hope that the overall situation will have significantly improved by then. To this end, we intend to hold the Summer School now from:
28.6.-2.7.2021 (to be confirmed)
Please refer to mailing-list postings and social media for further updates on WWSSS2020 respectively WWSSS2021.
Take-off into a new Decade of Web Science
Each year the WSTNet Web Science Summer School (WWSSS) aims to offer participants the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and experience in the core subjects of Web Science. WWSSS is non-profit and participation fees are kept at a minimum to allow students from all over the world and diverse backgrounds to participate. The WSTNet Web Science Summer School is an annual event and is intended for researchers starting out in Web Science, and for professionals who wish to know more about this increasingly important topic. To this end, the summer school puts emphasis on highlighting the relationships between the technical, social, economic and cultural aspects of the Web through an active exchange of researchers from different disciplines.
