*** Call for Participation***
SIGEVO is a special interest group of ACM always looking for new
ways to improve the research and learning on genetic and
evolutionary computation.
In this quest for disseminating the knowledge and making
activities in this domain we will organize, for the first time, a
Summer School around GECCO 2017 in Berlin: S3 (Sigevo Summer
School).
We seek for PhD students to participate in this great event,
offering:
1. One day before GECCO (July 14th), with lectures and
interactions to world class researchers in this domain.
2. Two days after GECCO (July 20th and 21st) of discussions,
presentations, and joint works.
3. Oriented interactions and learning in tutorials and sessions of
GECCO.
4. Great networking opportunities and up to 6 awards to recognize
outstanding performance.
The many appealing activities during S3 will include:
- A first day (get together) where students will meet each other,
form groups, and listen to short lessons. An assignment will be
done to students and links for a close interaction to mentors will
be created for the whole school and conference duration.
- Questions, competitions and awards (economic plus diploma
prizes) will be offered to the students who perform the best,
granted at the end of the summer school. We have up to 6 awards in
different categories: come and participate!
- Opportunities to attend a big number of high quality GECCO
tutorials plus continuous interaction to the summer school staff
and mentors, what will raise the abilities and vision of students:
don't miss this.
- The first day after GECCO, students will discuss with mentors,
so as to finish their assignments. Also, the staff in S3 will
evaluate during this day the solution to the questions made the
first day and offer, on the very last day, the results and
winners.
- The last day of the summer school (two days after GECCO)
students will present their assignments to the whole board of
mentors. Enjoy this boosting to your knowledge, your PhD thesis,
and your networking to this community!
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
--------------------------------------------
- Attend *ALL* the 1+2 days of S3, plus attending some tutorials
and sessions of GECCO 2017.
- Have a valid registration to GECCO itself, plus a small fee of
100 euros to participate in the school.
- Fulfill an assignment, participate in the school challenges, and
follow the standards of proper social and research behavior.
Students of the S3 will be eligible for travel, register and
lodging grants of GECCO.

page of GECCO: http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/index.html/Summer+School
