==================================================
Nothing like the Web has ever happened in all of human history. The Web
is the largest human information construct in history. The scale of its
impact and the rate of its adoption are unparalleled. If we are to
ensure that the Web benefits the human race we must do our best to
understand it, engineer its future and ensure its social benefit. Web
Science is the new interdisciplinary field targeting these objectives.
The *Web Science Summer Academy* offers a unique combination of 8
courses in Web Science. The courses cover socio-economic as well as
computer science subjects. All courses award 3 ECTS credits for transfer
to home institutions upon passing exams or assignments.
Following the Web Science Conference in Koblenz, http://websci11.org,
June 15-17, all courses will be held in English in a 4 weeks period
between June 27th to July 22nd in the same venue.
