The following summer school is designed for PhD students with an interest in
technology for home care and telecare. There are sponsored free places for
students at Scottish Universities. Students from elsewhere would pay a
modest fee (that could hopefully by covered by a departmental DTA).

Summer School on Home Care Systems
1st-5th June 2009, University of Edinburgh
http://www.match-project.org.uk/events/school.html
This summer school will deal with the broad subject of home care systems -
specifically technologies that support delivery of care to the home.
Students from a variety of disciplines (not just computing) should find the
summer school of interest. The focus will be on high-level functions and use
of specific technologies for home care: networks, services, sensors, data
visualisation, speech, and human-computer interaction. The summer school
will offer formal lectures from internationally recognised speakers, coupled
with practical work to reinforce what is learned.
