<p>The Reasoning Web Summer School 2013 is primarily intended for<br>postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdocs, and other young<br>researchers investigating aspects related to Reasoning on the Semantic<br>Web and related issues. The Summer School will also be open to senior<br>
researchers wishing to learn about Semantic Web issues related to their<br>own fields of research.</p><p>For further details please visit <a href="http://rw2013.uni-mannheim.de">http://rw2013.uni-mannheim.de</a></p><p>As in the previous years, we managed again to attract a distinguished<br>
group of expert lecturers, the majority of which will - apart from their<br>lectures - also be present for the duration of the school to interact<br>with students.</p><p>Interaction with senior researchers and establishing contacts within<br>
young researchers is a main focus of the school, which will be supported<br>through social activities and an interactive, amicable atmosphere.</p><p>The summer school will be co-located with related events. This will be a <br>
great opportunity to attend major events in the area ahead of the school. </p><p>As a further highlight, we want to point out the opportunity of PhD<br>students to present their research at the RR 2013 Doctoral Consortium.<br>
Joint applications for the Reasoning Web Summer School 2013 and the RR<br>2013 Doctoral Consortium are explicitly encouraged. More details will be <br>announced soon on the RR 2013 website.</p><p><br>== IMPORTANT DATES ==</p>
