Summer School Series on Methods for Computational Social Science
July 24th – 29th 2017
Sardinia, Italy
The first summer school of this series focuses on methods for
capturing, analyzing and modeling digital trace data (e.g., click
streams, interaction networks, sequences of user activities). We have
invited outstanding keynote speakers and lecturers from different
disciplines that will teach different methods and show how digital
trace data can be used to answer interesting research questions that
are relevant for the social sciences and gain insights into social
phenomena like prosocial behavior, consensus or mobility.

Rijksmuseum & RKD Summer School
From 13 to 22 August 2017 the Rijksmuseum and the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History organise a Summer School which offers a unique, in-depth immersion into 17th-century Netherlandish art and history. The 2017 edition of the Summer School is themed around ‘Dutch art in an international perspective’.
As national institutions, The Rijksmuseum and the RKD share a mission to further develop the understanding of Netherlandish art and history for the future by conducting and facilitating high-level research. Dating back to 1992, the institutions have joined forces to organize a biennial Summer School with the goal of offering the next generation of art historians the opportunity to enrich and deepen their knowledge of Netherlandish art. The exclusive programme enables candidates to immerse themselves within the Dutch art world and museum field, and build up a relevant network.

Waves and Imaging
Dates: July 4 - 15, 2011.
Location: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
Mini-courses:
Radar Imaging: Margaret Cheney, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Computerized Tomography: Frank Natterer, WWU Muenster
Seismic Imaging: Laurent Demanet, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Imaging in Random Media: Josselin Garnier, Paris VII (Jussieu)
These mini-courses will cover the mathematical underpinnings common to most wave-based imaging modalities, such as wave scattering, integral geometry of Radon and generalized Radon transforms, and statistical stabililization techniques. The computer labs will introduce the
participants to various imaging routines in an integrated manner: matched filtering, filtered backprojection, adjoint-state methods, and correlation- based methods. A goal of the summer school is to lead the participants to appreciate the myriad of research-level questions left
open in mathematics, numerical methods, and practical applications of imaging with waves.
The summer school targets mathematics graduate students with interests in computational mathematics, partial differential equations, numerical methods, statistical signal processing, image processing, inverse problems, or compressed sensing. Graduate students from
engineering, geophysics and other departments who have affinities with mathematics are also strongly encouraged to apply. There is a limit of 50 participating students. There will be no registration fee. Funding for local accommodation and/or local expenses will be available for
some of the participants. Limited travel funds may also be available. See the guidelines on how to apply. The application deadline is February 1, 2011.
Note that this is not a conference or a workshop. Participation in the summer school is restricted to students who are currently working toward a M.S., Ph.D., or equivalent degree. The Gene Golub SIAM Summer School is a satellite event of ICIAM 2011, the International
Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, taking place on July 18-22, 2011, in Vancouver. This major conference is held every four years in lieu of the SIAM Annual Meeting. All participants of the summer school are encouraged to extend their stay in Vancouver for

CfA: 8th Summer School for Advanced Studies on Biometrics for Secure
In the last decade, several recognition and authentication systems based on biometric measurements have been proposed. Algorithms and sensors have been developed to acquire and process many different biometric data sources. The recent introduction of biometric data in
electronic documents has increased the relevance of the secure storage and processing of personal biometric data. As more security is required, multimodality has also come to the fore. Moreover, emerging applications also require to perform human identification in motion and at a distance.
What are the most up-to-date core technologies developed in the field? What are the most relevant issues in biometric standardization? What are the real and ultimate limitations of human recognition/ authentication systems working at a distance? How to develop/integrate a biometric recognition system?
This school follows the successful International Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003, but with a different target. In this 8th edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging issues in biometrics:
1. How to exploit new technologies in forensics and in security application at a distance;
2. Identity management in new and emerging multimodal biometric technologies;
3. Standardization, evaluation and assessment of biometric applications.
The lectures will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from both academia and industry. Emphasis will be given to evaluation, standardization and to define the maturity of technology for the deployment of biometrics in a wide range of applications.
