Hi all, For the third year, we are opening applications for the Master degree in Web Sciences in Paris. The main purpose of this cursus is to allow students from the fields of sciences, design, humanities and art to perform interdisciplinary studies/researches on the Web and Internet, from academics, public and private contexts. All of you are welcome at the open day: May 5th, 5:30pm, at the Center of Interdisciplinary Research http://masterwebscience.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/open-day/ Their will be an open seminar where your presentation are welcome. So far the program can be found here : http://masterwebscience.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/open-seminar/ This master degree, “Interdisciplinary Approaches of the Web” (in french “Approches Interdisciplinaires du Web”, AIW) was built in order to understand how Internet transfrom more and more aspects of our societies, and how to participate to this evolution by building an interdisciplinary point of view. We aim at building a teaching around topics as the modelisation of Internet, interfaces design, services economy, usage sociology, information spreading, e-education. AIW Master, like all courses at CRI, are built on the principle of “formation by doing research”. Students from very different disciplines are encouraged to work together and build projects both theoretical and with concrete outputs. In order to give means to its student to realize projects, AIW is in deep relation with Fabelier's prototyping lab ( http://fabelier.org ), hosted at the same place. If you are a M2 student, you can follow tuesday's seminars (5:30pm-7:30pm) and get 12 university credits (ECTS). If you want to be full-time AIW student, you have to follow the tuesday's seminars and do 3 interships form different disciplines (humanities/sciences/engineering/art) and contexts (research/industry/association/personnal projects). If you just want to come by... you can !
