2024 PKU International Visualization Summer School
The 15th PKU International Visualization Summer School will be held from July 1-17, 2024.
Course introduction
The summer school invites well-known scholars at home and abroad with profound knowledge in the field of visualization research to systematically discuss the frontier theories and research methods in this field. The course focuses on the application and development of visualization in cross-cutting areas, and invites renowned experts to give lectures. The summer school welcomes students and scholars from visualization-related majors, design majors and other application fields to apply for the course, which is taught in English and Chinese. Formal students will attend offline, participate in team course design, attend ChinaVis 2023 in Chongqing and report team course design results during the conference. Audit student will attend lectures online.
Course form
The course is a combination of online and offline (on-campus at Peking University)
Organized by
School of Intelligence Science and Technology, Peking University
Key Laboratory of Machine Perception (Ministry of Education)
National Engineering Laboratory for Big Data Analysis and Application
Target
The summer school focuses on enrolling master's students, doctoral students, young teachers in related fields in major universities and research institutes in China, or enterprise personnel engaged in related research and development. A small number of outstanding senior undergraduates who have a strong interest in the field of visualization and are interested in applying for graduate studies at Peking University are also encouraged to attend (please specify the relevant information in your application). Students are divided into formal and audit students. No more than 80 formal students are planned to be enrolled, of which at least 1/5 will have a design background and 1/5 will have an application area background (including humanities/social science/science/engineering, etc., and will complete the course and the corresponding design requirements by attending offline classes). The course design will be assigned to be completed jointly by students with computer background and application field and design background. Those who pass the assessment of completing the course design will receive a certificate of completion of the summer school issued by the Graduate School of Peking University. Audit students are also recruited. After completing the course questionnaire and the corresponding tasks through online listening, they will be listed on this website to prove their participation in the course.
Enrollment Method
The selection of students is based on a free application and merit-based approach.
Letters of recommendation from a mentor or supervisor are required to enroll as a
former student. The application materials will be reviewed by the expert committee
to decide the admission list. Students with master's or doctoral degrees and young
faculty members from universities and research institutes in China in related
fields, as well as those engaged in R&D in enterprises, are eligible to apply. The
summer school also encourages a small number of outstanding senior undergraduates
who have a strong interest in the field of visualization and are interested in
applying for graduate studies at Peking University to attend the program. Please
indicate the relevant information in your application.
Among the formal students, students enrolled in Peking University are free of charge; off-campus formal students are divided into enrolled students and non-students for tuition fee (the exact amount to be determined by notice and part of the tuition fee is waived for students who have registered for ChinaVis 2023); audit students will not be charged tuition for listening to lectures online.
Registration for students: http://www.chinavis.org/s24/register/index_en.html
For registration, please fill in the required information on the page
for submitting application materials. After registration, please ask the recommender(s) (two persons for formal application
and one person for audit application) to send the
recommendation letter to pkuvis@pku.edu.cn to complete the application. Applicants who have been
approved by the expert committee will be notified. If the information is incomplete or the
recommendation letters are not received, the application is invalid.
The deadline for summer school registration is June 25th. The
admission notice will be sent to the applicant's registered mailbox in batches.
