Dear colleagues,
The Smart Cities Summer School 2016 (Aug. 21st-28th) call for application is still open. We invite all excellent PhD-candidates to join for a stimulating week of discussion and learning at TU Vienna.
The Summer School combines scholars from diverse disciplines including technical, economic, political, environmental and social disciplines to explore new sets of relationships between (a) society and technology and (b) people and data entailed in the Smart City vision and to contribute to a better understanding of processes transforming urban spaces.
The questions discussed during the Summer School include:
- Which new urban patterns are established by using Smart City technologies as digital internet devices and products in housing, communities or cities?
- How do ICT innovations in urban contexts affect mentalities, social interaction and social structures?
- What are the technological and social driving forces shaping the process of designing urban places?
Applications should include the following:
a) Letter of motivation with a brief description of the research topic (max. 3 pages)
b) Comprehensive CV
c) Letter of recommendation from supervisor
