BMVA 2013 Computer Vision Summer School The annual BMVA Summer School is running again this year at the University of Manchester, between the 8th and the 12th of July. Intended for first-year PhD students, but other researchers at an early stage in their careers have found it useful as well -- anyone who really wants to attend is welcome to attend! Despite the title, students from non-UK universities are welcome to attend, as well as students from UK universities. The format is 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. The summer school 2013 website is now online, and further program details and costs will be posted there as soon as they are finalised.

"Lecturers did a very good job in bringing the topics across". "Thanks for organizing! I've met cool people and learnt a lot". "The organisation was great, flawless, and the staff were very nice and helpful" 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. Hope to see you all in Manchester! Carole Twining
