The European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and the Environment (EFITA),
the Hellenic Association for Information and Communication Technology in Agriculture (HAICTA) in collaboration with the
University of Thessaly organize the first

"Young Researchers Summer School on Innovative Information and Communication Technologies in Agriculture, Food and Environment"

First Period: 15-17 July 2010, Second Period: 16-18 September 2010

The objective of YRSS is to promote cross-domain training and collaboration opportunities among young researchers worldwide, working on topics related to the EFITA goals. Therefore, the organizers invite PhD students, advanced MPhil., MA and MSc students as well as young researchers and practitioners with a demonstrated interest in related issues, to participate. The participants will present their topics of work/interest as well as their progress and results in an audience of specialists ready to comment on their research work. Exchange of views and elaborate discussions will follow aiming to a better understanding of the research outcome. Moreover, keynote lectures will present related overviews on European Union (EU) programmes and opportunities for cooperation. Proceedings and certifications of attendance will be provided.

The goals of the school are:

  • To give participants the opportunity to gain valuable experience, consultancy and future directions for their research.

  • To identify groups of researchers working in similar areas and having common research interests.

  • To promote future collaborations for research and development of EU projects.

  • To identify and encourage participants to present their research at the next EFITA 2011 Conference in Prague.

The programme includes a 30 minutes presentation of each young researchers’ topics of interest, work and progress. Therefore, interested participants should provide to organizers an 4-pages extended summary of their work (will be included in the proceedings of the school), the related presentation and their curriculum vitae.
