The British Machine Vision Association runs an annual Computer Vision Summer School aimed at PhD students, though it will also be beneficial to other researchers at an early stage in their careers as well as professionals working in industry. Despite the title, students from non-UK universities are welcome to attend, as are students and professionals from UK universities and industry. Places are limited, so we encourage early registration.
The 2027 Summer School will take place at the Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, between 12th - 16th July 2027. It will consist of an intensive week of lectures and lab sessions covering a wide range of topics in Computer Vision. Lecturers are researchers in the field from some of the most active research groups in the UK and abroad.
In addition to the academic content, the Summer School provides a networking opportunity for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation.
Robert Gordon University is located in Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland. The Garthdee campus sits on the banks of the River Dee, and is a short bus or taxi ride from the city centre. Aberdeen, known as the “Granite City” for its distinctive silver-grey buildings, combines a historic city centre and old town with a long sandy beach and easy access to the Highlands and Royal Deeside. The city is well connected, with the Aberdeen International Airport which serves both domestic and international flights, as well as direct trains which connect to Edinburgh and Glasgow (around 2½ hours) as well as long-distance trains to London.
