[Studinfo] Joint Seminar with University of Oslo and Lancaster University

The Chair of Computer Science IV is offering an international seminar together with the Universities of Oslo and Lancaster. The seminar is for Bachelor and Master students and will take place in the upcoming spring semester of 2013. If you are interested, you should apply as soon as possible. "Nowadays, it has become quite normal for computer scientists to work on an international team after they graduate. For example, consulting companies often form such international teams, with colleagues with specific competences from all over the world, to work on customer problems, using their laptops, no matter where they currently are. We intend to create a similar setting for our students in order to train them for this new scenario. It is the purpose of this joint seminar between three European Universities to bring together researchers and students from several places to do joint work. Another cornerstone of this joint seminar are joint six-week long lab assignments. Students from the University of Oslo (NO), Lancaster University (UK), and University of Mannheim (DE) are encouraged to collaborate to fulfill the mandatory requirements for this joint course. The participating universities have outstanding research groups, and it will be quite beneficial for students on both sides to learn more about international state-of-the-art research and cooperation."
