PROVISION FOR CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK: The final decision on whether UBISS 2020 will be cancelled due to the corona virus outbreak will be made on April 30. Accordingly, registration deadline for accepted applicants is postponed to May 5 (12:00 EEST), to prevent needless payments and refunds of registration and accommodation fees in case UBISS 2020 is cancelled.


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 is co-located with WAFR 2020 (14th International Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics) hosted by us on June 15-17, 2020. Therefore, UBISS 2020 includes two robotics related workshops, C: ROBOT MAKERS and D: COMPLEXITY REDUCTION IN ROBOTICS, to entice participation of junior academics in both events. Between the events, on Sunday June 14, we will host a full-day trip to the Arctic Circle.
