Registration for WWSSS'16 has opened! Register now at 
http://wwsss16.webscience.org and benefit from our early bird 
registration fee.

The WSTNet Web Science Summer School 2016 will take place from 30 June 
to 6 July in Koblenz (Germany), in the UNESCO world heritage Upper 
Middle Rhine Valley.

Keynotes and tutorials will provide participants with an insight into 
the key areas of Web Science:
  *   Introduction to Web Science,
  *   Computational Social Science,
  *   Social Machines,
  *   Web and Politics,
  *   Web Entrepreneurship,
  *   Web and Law.

We know that sustainable learning requires both receiving information 
and applying it. That is why at WWSSS’16, participants will consolidate 
their insights from tutorials and keynotes in project work, supervised 
by experts in the related fields.

Invited speakers and tutors include Jim Hendler, Noshir Contractor, 
Stéphane Bazan, Nikolaus Forgó, Steffen Staab, Markus Strohmaier, Elena 
Simperl, Simon Köhl, and others. Beside working in teams, we will 
provide an inspiring and enjoyable environment with plenty of 
opportunities to connect with other attendees and established 
researchers in the field of Web Science. This includes a poster session 
where participants present their research and obtain feedback on it as 
well as several social events and an excursion.

Corresponding to the transdisciplinary curriculum, WWSSS’16 welcomes 
anyone interested in the field of Web Science, regardless of their 
discipline.

We look forward to meet you in person at WWSSS’16!
