E-IED 2014 – 4th European Immersive Education Summit

Vienna, Austria, 24-26 November, 2014

http://europe.immersiveeducation.org/cfp2014

The objective of the European Immersive Education (iED) Summit is to bring together researchers, developers, educators, decision makers, and industry from all over the world. It consists of scientific presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions and break-out sessions. Fairly new is the hands-on demo stream, which combines a short paper presentation with an extended hands-on presentation for the attendees. Following a bottom-up way, special tracks and workshops cover emerging topics and trends suggested and organized by the community and focused groups. Also speed sessions enable participants to present an aspect of their work or interest in a fun and speedy way. The summit will further offer a platform to explore research collaborations and give international research consortiums room to share their results.

The Summit will be organized by and hosted at the University of Applied Science BFI Vienna in conjunction with Graz University of Technology.
