The scope

The Estonian Summer School in Computer and Systems Science is an annual international event for PhD and MSc students, postdocs, and faculty members. ESSCaSS promotes the interdisciplinary education of graduate students specialising in (but not limited to) computer science, systems science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. These schools play an essential role in doctoral education in Estonia.

Student sessions

There are "Student talks" and "Poster session" planned. The main aim of these activities is to get students actively involved in shaping summer school. We hope these sessions allow them to improve their skills in presenting their topic, managing daily tasks more effectively, and sharing essential information.
