*Aim of the Winter School*
The aim of this meeting is to gather young European researchers in the field of tangible interaction to get them in touch with internationally renowned researchers and to establish networks for their future. This winter school will be a unique opportunity to train in the field of tangible interaction and to discuss your research with professors and other young researchers. In particular, we encourage the participation of researchers with different backgrounds from both academic and private research. Indeed, this edition of the studio will include voices from enterprises and private research institution working on the field of tangible interaction. We aim to provide participants with useful insights for applied research possibilities, in order to bring tangible interaction principles in the everyday use.
Senior researchers from the industry and internationally known professors will discuss several topics related to tangible interaction from their different points of view. During the following days, the PhD and Master students will have the opportunity to present their research and to conduct workshops for the other participants. Each day participants will have the opportunity to enjoy practical activities for designing and developing tangible user interfaces.
There is a lot of room for informal exchange and discussion. One focus will be on meeting interesting people in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere. The studio will cover several aspects of tangible interaction applied to games, storytelling, smart objects and environments, emotional communication and other related domains.
