British Machine Vision Association PhD Summer School BMVA runs an annual Summer School aimed at PhD students in their first year, but which is potentially beneficial to other researchers at an early stage in their careers. The 2011 Summer School will take place at the University of Manchester between the 27th June and 1st July. It will consist of an intensive week of lectures and lab sessions covering a wide range of topics in Computer Vision and Digital Image Computing. Lecturers are researchers from the most active Computer Vision research groups in the UK. Some quotes from delegates who attended the 2010 Summer School at Kingston University: "I think the variety of the topics is very good", "Most of the lectures were excellent and the quality and presentation was more than what was expected from this course", "Diverse set of requirements were handled very well. I found it extremely helpful and fun!" In addition to the academic content, the Summer School provides a networking opportunity for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation.
