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
