PROVISION FOR CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK: For now, UBISS 2020 (workshops A and B) has been moved to August 24-29, 2020, and the final (no) go decision will be made on June 15, 2020, considering the situation of the corona virus epidemic then. As WAFR 2020 has been postponed by a year to June 2021, the two robotics related workshops C and D have been moved to UBISS 2021 co-located with WAFR 2021. As UBISS 2020 comprises of only two workshops, their capacity is accordingly increased.


UBISS 2020 invites researchers, students, and industry and public sector professionals to gain theoretical insights and personal hands on experience on selected topics under the tutelage of distinguished experts. UBISS 2020 builds on the legacy of the previous ten successful UBI Summer Schools hosted by us in Oulu in 2010-2019.


UBISS 2020 comprises of four parallel 6-day "hands on" workshops (intensive courses worth 5 ECTS):

A: SMART INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY IN 5G AND BEYOND (full)
Professor Petar Popovski, Aalborg University, Denmark
Dr. Israel Leyva-Mayorga, Aalborg University, Denmark
Dr. Federico Chiariotti, Aalborg University, Denmark

B: CREATING VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCES FOR SOCIAL GOOD (few seats left)
Professor Victoria Interrante, University of Minnesota, USA
Dr. Matti Pouke, University of Oulu, Finland
Dr. Paula Alavesa, University of Oulu, Finland


The following two workshops have been moved to UBISS 2021 co-located with WAFR 2021 in June 2021:

C: ROBOT MAKERS
Assistant Professor Ankur Mehta, UCLA, USA
Assistant Professor Cynthia Sung, University of Pennsylvania, USA
