As in previous editions of the International UJI Robotics School, one of the goals of this event is to maximize interaction between all participants --students and lecturers. This includes time for formal lectures, practical work, relaxed discussions, social activities and leisure.

The Summer School is expected to train no more than 40 students from all over the world. The scientists invited to lecture at the Summer School are of a high standard and well known in the Robotics and Neuroscience communities. Practical sessions will be organized, in which the students will implement some of the techniques they have learnt. In the labs, students will be organized in groups, encouraging interactive work among them.

Being a relatively small group (30+ students and 5+3 instructors) participating in all the activities during the entire period will facilitate the interaction between students and senior scientists. Bilateral contacts will be encouraged along the entire period. Accommodation for students will be at some 50m from the school venue, the hotel where instructors will be lodged. In this way, interaction will be maximized while keeping a low-cost hosting for students.
