Welcome to the 6th Joint Summer School in Information Science (JoSSIS)
Created by the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FHGR) in Switzerland, the University of Zadar (UNIZD) in Croatia, and the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland in Austria, JoSSIS offers exciting educational, research and networking opportunities for all students. Whether you’re interested in information science or want to expand your knowledge, JoSSIS has something for you.
Our courses are designed to challenge and inspire you in a fun and open-minded learning environment. Plus, you’ll have the chance to network and participate in fun sports activities with other students. And did we mention that it all takes place in beautiful Zadar, Croatia, one of the most stunning cities on the Adriatic coast?
Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience! Join us in Zadar from 17th to 28th August, 2026.
Best of all, JoSSIS courses are free to participants from our three partnering institutions! You’ll be responsible for personal costs like travel, accommodation, and food, but with everything we have to offer, it’s worth it.
