Expanded Summer School 2025
The Expanded Summer School offers a unique, intensive learning experience from September 2nd to 7th, 2025 at our School of Informatics, Communications and Media in Hagenberg and in Linz (https://fh-ooe.at/en/campus-hagenberg/events/summer-school-2025)
Held in conjunction with the renowned Expanded Conference (https://expanded-conf.org/) during the internationally acclaimed Ars Electronica Festival in Austria, this program provides a distinct platform for emerging scholars and practitioners. The Summer School commences with a workshop in Hagenberg, before transitioning to Linz, to the Expanded Conference and Ars Electronica Festival activities. This structure is designed to provide both focused skill development and broad exposure to the cutting edge of digital and interactive art.
Target Group:
This program is intended for advanced Bachelor’s and Master’s students who have prior experience in designing and developing games.
Applicants should ideally have already developed their own game projects, as the Summer School will include sessions in which participants will test and explore each other's games.
