*Announcing the WSTNet Web Science Summer School 2016 (WWSSS’16)*

http://wwsss16.west.uni-koblenz.de

The WSTNet Web Science Summer School 2016 will take place from 30 June to 6 July in Koblenz (Germany).

Keynotes and tutorials will provide participants with an insight into the key areas of Web Science:

* Introduction to Web Science, * Computational Social Science, * Social Machines, * Web and Politics, * Web Entrepreneurship, * Web and Law.

We know that sustainable learning requires both receiving information and applying it. That is why at WWSSS’16, participants will consolidate their insights from tutorials and keynotes in project work, supervised by experts in the related fields.

Invited speakers and tutors include Jim Hendler, Noshir Contractor, Stéphane Bazan, Nikolaus Forgó, Steffen Staab, Markus Strohmaier, Elena Simperl, Simon Köhl, and others. Beside working in teams, we will provide an inspiring and enjoyable environment with plenty of opportunities to connect with other attendees and established researchers in the field of Web Science. This includes a poster session where participants present their research and obtain feedback on it as well as several social events and an excursion.

WWSSS’16 is the first official summer school of the Web Science Trust Network, an international network of some of the world’s leading academic researchers in Web Science. The 2016 edition is organised in Koblenz, in the UNESCO world heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

Corresponding to the transdisciplinary curriculum, WWSSS’16 welcomes anyone interested in the field of Web Science, regardless of their discipline.

We look forward to meet you in person at WWSSS’16!

Prof. Dr. Steffen Staab Institute WeST, University of Koblenz-Landau & Web and Internet Science Group, University of Southampton.
