Introduction
|
The EPSRC Next Generation Wireless Network (NGWNet)
offers a 3-day summer school in wireless technology from 11 to 13 June 2007.
The short but intensive interactive programme aims
to expand the horizon of the participants in the fields
of current and future wireless networks, and give
them opportunities for connecting both among themselves
and with professionals. |
Who should attend?
The school is oriented towards postgraduate
students in the first months of their study, research
associates who begin a project outside their previous
area of expertise, or new individual appointees who need
to broaden their knowledge in the field of wireless technologies.
It is assumed the participants have at least bachelor
level knowledge in the subject.
