[ecrea] Call for applications for summer school Digital Traces in a Mediated World, at the University of Amsterdam

Fri Jan 29 13:40:54 GMT 2016




*Call for applications for summer school Digital Traces in a Mediated World*

All day long, mobile and online technology register what we do, how we feel, to whom we talk, what we talk about and where we are. More than ever before, our daily lives have become digitally mediated. We continuously leave digital traces that tell intricate stories about who we are, and all of this data is increasingly linked together. If all these digital traces are harnessed, they can be used not only to understand how people select and are affected by media content, but also to increase the success of media practices and products. How can this massive amount of data be translated into useful information about the way individuals navigate the digital world? In this summer school, tomorrow's communication specialists will learn how to capitalise on the enormous potential of digital information.

Students will learn novel methodological approaches to exploiting massive ubiquitous data; the challenges and solutions associated with these approaches; and fundamental issues faced with using digital traces to answer communication questions.

The application deadline is 15 April, 2016 and early bird fees apply if applications are sent in before 15 February, 2016. More details about the course and the application can be found via www.uva.nl/summer-digitaltraces.

With kind regards,
