The 1st eCare Summer School on home care technologies is a funky 
combination of *themed presentations*, several *visits **to home lab 
facilities*, *technical courses with hands-on exercises* covering 
various aspects such as sensor and device communication and integration, 
data modelling, processing and interpretation, smart textiles, 
service/companion robots and existing ambient intelligence

The participants will have the opportunity to present their own research 
during an informal poster session.

The summer school will incorporate a mix of *industry testimonials*, 
*smart textiles and wearable technology* lectures and a *guest lecture
