*** Scope of the Summer School: ***
We are pleased to announce that the International Summer School on 
Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies (ISACT 2021) will be held 
from September 6 to 11, 2021 in Magdeburg, Germany, in conjunction with 
the IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS 2021).

Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies is a trending research 
direction that gained a lot of interest from the industry in recent 
years. Therefore, the summer school aims to present the fundamental 
aspects of situation awareness in cognitive technologies which can be 
discussed in an interdisciplinary context. There are a couple of aspects 
to consider: Situation Awareness, Cognitive Technologies, Human-Computer 
Interaction (HCI) and Explainable AI (XAI). Especially the HCI context 
provides a link between theory and application which receives special 
attention in this summer school along with the recent trends in 
Explainable AI. To make this school an interactive learning experience, 
we would encourage the participants to share their research 
presentations (posters) related to the above-mentioned topics.

This year’s edition intends to bring together academia and industry to 
provide a large practical perspective to undergraduate and graduate 
(including early-stage PhD) students, as well as to young industry 
personnel. Attendees will be able to extend their knowledge in both 
theoretical and practical aspects of:
   - Situation Awareness
   - Cognitive Technologies
   - Brain-Computer Interaction
   - Human-Computer Interaction
   - Explainable AI

The International Summer School on Situation Awareness in Cognitive 
Technologies is a great opportunity to learn about new technologies, 
meet fellow students/employees, discuss ideas with experts, participate 
in an international conference and simply have a splendid time in the 
city of Otto von Guericke!
