Web Science Summer Academy - Koblenz 2011
Nothing like the Web has ever happened in all of human history. The Web is the largest human information construct in history. The scale of its impact and the rate of its adoption are unparalleled. If we are to ensure that the Web benefits the human race we must do our best to understand it, engineer its future and ensure its social benefit. Web Science is the new interdisciplinary field targeting these objectives. The *Web Science Summer Academy* offers a unique combination of 8 courses in Web Science. The courses cover socio-economic as well as computer science subjects. All courses award 3 ECTS credits for transfer to home institutions upon passing exams or assignments.
Following the Web Science Conference in Koblenz, http://websci11.org, June 15-17, all courses will be held in English in a 4 weeks period between June 27th to July 22nd in the same venue.
