Vision and Sports is a special special kind of summer school.
In addition to a broad-range of lectures on state-of-the-art Computer Vision techniques, it offers exciting sport activities, such as Floorball, Ultimate Frisbee and Table Tennis.
What is most fun: the sports sessions are given by the same internationally renowned experts who deliver the lectures!
