The Annual Summer School for graduate students of many disciplines and young professional designers has been run for the past five years in locations throughout Western and Eastern Europe. In 2006 it will be it Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland, coinciding with the two first weeks of the Edinburgh Festival. The Summer School brings together (approx.) 50 talented young people from many countries and disciplines for ten days to deepen their understanding of user-centred design of interactive systems for everyday life ‘convivial’ technologies in the sense both of Dante and Illich. The School consists of morning lectures and afternoon `ateliers´, i.e. workshops where teams of students work on themes proposed by and discussed with the atelier leaders. Given the success of the ateliers in past years we would like to try this year to gain value from the work done by students beyond their own learning. What do the students gain? To work with professionals on a topic they find really interesting and possibly contacts for an eventual job. A combination of blue-sky research and contact with the real world of research, development or design.
