1 week of intensive training?Over 2 decades of BMVA tradition

British Machine Vision Association (BMVA) runs an annual Computer
Vision Summer School aimed at PhD students in their first year, though
it will be beneficial to other researchers at an early stage in their
careers. Despite the title, students from non-UK universities are
welcome to attend, as well as students from UK universities. Places
are limited to ensure good interaction in lab classes.

The 2016 Summer School will take place at Swansea University between 4
July and 8 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. A list of invited
lecturers and summer school programme are available on the summer
school website.

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.

Some quotes from delegates who attended the previous Summer Schools at
Manchester University and Kingston University: 'I think the variety of
the topics is very good', 'Diverse set of requirements were handled
very well. I found it extremely helpful and fun!', 'Nice overall
atmosphere to get in touch with people working in a similar/related
field'. 'Lecturers did a very good job in bringing the topics
across'. 'Thanks for organizing! I’ve met cool people and learnt a
lot'.
