The EPSRC sponsors an annual summer school on computer vision, which is managed, arranged and publicised by members of the BMVA.  Speakers on the Summer School are academic researchers or experienced practitioners from industry. See a separate page for a provisional programme for the 2008 event. This year's Summer School will be held the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems of the University of Essex from 6th to 11th July 2008.  The course is residential and is free to EPSRC-sponsored students, except for travel.  For others, the summer school costs £500. The course is intensive and is aimed at graduate students in the fields of Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Digital Imaging.  The Summer School has been running for over a decade and is updated every year to ensure it covers the state of the art, broadens awareness of related research fields, and develops research skills.       The Programme The Summer School comprises a series of lectures, laboratory sessions in which lecture theory is put into practice, and interactive sessions.  There is also plenty of time to meet and talk with attendees from other institutions around the country. All attendees are expected to bring with them an A1-sized, portrait orientation poster that describes their work, which they will present on the first day of the Summer School.  The best poster will win a prize. The Venue The course will take place on the Colchester campus of the University of Essex, UK.  Detailed travel information is available on the Essex website. Local information will be sent to registered delegates nearer to the event. The course is residential and delegates will be staying the University accommodation, which is ensuite and about five minutes walk from the restaurants, shops, pub and academic facilities.    How to apply Please download and complete the booking form, which is available in Word and PDF formats.
