ACDL 2020 an On-Site & On-Line Event!
We have concluded that holding the event this year in mixed form
both in
presence (like previous editions) and virtual is more advantageous
than
postponing it until next year.
In order to accommodate a large number of situations, we are
offering the
option for either physical presence or virtual participation. We
would be
delighted if all participants manage to attend, but are aware that
special
circumstances are best handled by having flexible options.
The advanced course, hence, will be held in presence with virtual
rooms
for participants using remote connection (e.g., Zoom or MS Teams).
The
online lectures (e.g., live presentations and/or recorded ones)
will be
made possible.

SCOPE:
The Advanced Course is not a summer school suited only for younger
scholars. Rather, a significant proportion of seasoned
investigators are
regularly present among the attendees, often senior faculty at
their own
institutions. The balanced audience that we strive to maintain in
each
Advanced Course greatly contributes to the development of intense
cross-disciplinary debates among faculty and participants that
typically
address the most advanced and emerging areas of each topic.
Each faculty member presents lectures and discusses with the
participants
for one entire day. Such long interaction together with the small,
exclusive Course size provides the uncommon opportunity to fully
explore
the expertise of each faculty, often through one-to-one mentoring.
This is
unparalleled and priceless.
The Certosa di Pontignano provides the perfect setting to a
relaxed yet
intense learning atmosphere, with the stunning backdrop of the
Tuscan
landscapes. World-class wines and traditional foods will make the
Advanced
Course on Data Science and Machine Learning the experience of a
lifetime.
8 ECTS POINTS:
Participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance
indicating the
number of hours of lectures (36-40 hours of lectures). In
according to the
academic system all PhD and master students attending to the
summer school
will may get 8 ECTS points.
A formal certificate of successful participation in the event will
be
delivered indicating the number of hours of lectures.
VENUE & ACCOMMODATION:
The venue of ACDL 2020 will be The Certosa di Pontignano — Siena

A few Kilometres from Siena, on a hill dominating the town stands
the
ancient Certosa di Pontignano, a unique place where nature,
history and
hospitality blend together in memorable harmony. Built in the
1300, its
medieval structure remains intact with additions of the following
centuries. The Certosa is centred on its historic cloisters and
gardens.
