=====================================================================

E-IED 2014 – 4th European Immersive Education Summit

Vienna, Austria, 24-26 November, 2014

http://europe.immersiveeducation.org/cfp2014

=====================================================================

The objective of the European Immersive Education (iED) Summit is to
bring together researchers, developers, educators, decision makers, and
industry from all over the world. It consists of scientific
presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions and break-out
sessions. Fairly new is the hands-on demo stream, which combines a short
paper presentation with an extended hands-on presentation for the
attendees. Following a bottom-up way, special tracks and workshops cover
emerging topics and trends suggested and organized by the community and
focused groups. Also speed sessions enable participants to present an
aspect of their work or interest in a fun and speedy way. The summit
will further offer a platform to explore research collaborations and
give international research consortiums room to share their results.
The Summit will be organized by and hosted at the University of Applied
Science BFI Vienna in conjunction with Graz University of Technology.
