I am invited for the prestigious Young Investigators' Forum on Culture Technology (YCT) this year (http://ct.kaist.ac.kr/yct2008/). The Forum is going to be held in Daejoen, South Korea, from Aug 22th to 23th, 2008. YCT is a highly interactive and intensive workshop for discussing the future of Culture Technology, a term proposed by Professor Kwang-yun Wohn, the Dean of the Graduate School of Culture Technology(GSCT) at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology(KAIST). 'Culture Technology' covers a wide range of research fields on digital media and related technologies, interaction, design and theory, which are gaining importance in every corner of our surroundings and culture. As a unique and one of a kind workshop that invites advanced graduate students around the world, the YCT aims to facilitate discussion on Culture Technology among young researchers. The program includes a keynote speech, a tour of the seven different labs at GSCT, presentations on Culture Technology by the participants, discussions, excursions, and opportunities to share ideas in an international atmosphere.
Only a dozen of graduate students from all around the world who have insightful and instigating topics to bring to serious discussion were selected. These participants came from different parts of the world, comprising of Australia, China, Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom and U.S.A. The forum fully sponsored the travel expenses and accommodations for all the participants.
The best thing is the flights are fully paid and they give you allowance too!
