Welcome to the Joint Summer School in Information Science (JoSSIS)

The Joint Summer School in Information Science (JoSSIS) represents the realization of a long-standing idea by which the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FHGR) from Switzerland and University of Zadar (UNIZD) from Croatia will extend their existing academic activities by providing additional educational and research opportunities to students during the summer break (August/September).

At both institutions we share a common interest for a wide range of topics in the broader field of Information Science as well in relevant topics from other related academic fields or disciplines.

Our courses are designed to challange and inspire participants in a open minded and joyful learning environment without forntiers. In addition to intensive learning, research and development, JoSSIS also promotes the idea of active networking and spending time together in interesting fun and sports activities.

Joint Summer School in Information Science 2020 will be held ONLINE from 24th August till 4th September 2020.

JoSSIS courses are free to all participants who are later, after receiving the official acceptance letter, responsible for other personal costs that will incure during their stay in Zadar (travel, accommodation, food, etc.).
