Trento RISE, the leading academic actor of the Italian
representatives in EIT ICT Labs, is pleased to announce the 1st
Winter School on Language and Data/Knowledge
Technologies (LaDaKT), a one-week event to be held in Trento,
Italy, between February 20th and 24th of 2012.

The school offers various activities such as presentations,
demos, introductory courses, laboratory tours, social events and
discussions with current students and professors and aims at
introducing the participants to the research and educational
activities on Language and Data/Knowledge Technologies that take
place within Trento RISE. As both areas are enjoying an
increasing interest in the scientific and industrial communities,
the program includes presentations on future opportunities as
well. The school is intended to encourage students to apply for a
PhD in one of the two scientific fields.  More information about
education within Trento RISE can be found on www.trentorise.eu
and on the homepage of the Winter School.

All activities of the school are in English.

LaDaKT will accept 15 participants. The participants will have to
be eligible to apply for a PhD in March 2012.

Registration is free of charge. Accommodation will also be
supplied, while a lump-sum for transportation will be provided
depending on the location of the applicant: the exact amount will
be communicated after the selection process.
