Program
The 7th Summer School on Computational Interaction starts on June 19th and ends on June 23rd. The program includes lectures, but also opportunities for networking and sharing ideas between students, speakers, and academics and researchers at the University of Michigan.
Each day will consist of two sessions (morning and afternoon), with sessions having lectures, invited talks, and even a poster session. Optional evening activities will give students an opportunity to get to know Ann Arbor, enjoy the summer atmosphere, and take mindful breaks.
For those visiting Ann Arbor, hotel accommodations will be available from June 18th (checkin) to June 24th (checkout).
