CVR-VISTA Vision Science Summer School (CVRSS), 2021 YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, CANADA

The Centre for Vision Research https://cvr.yorku.ca/ at York University https://www.yorku.ca/ in Toronto, Canada offers a one-week undergraduate summer school on vision science in cooperation with the Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) vista.info.yorku.ca  initiative. 

In the past the CVRSS has been an expenses-paid, in-person event but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the 2021 version will be FREE and wholly virtual (while maintaining the intimate and interactive nature of the experience). This year's program will be held July 5th – 9th, 2021.

The program includes talks by CVR faculty members on current research topics in vision science, as well as (virtual) hands-on experience in CVR laboratories. The curriculum reflects the wide range of research areas at CVR, which includes research on human visual perception, computer vision, machine learning, visual neuroscience, digital media, immersive environments, and visual disorders. Participants will receive a certificate of completion.

The program accepts undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in scientific research. It is intended mainly for students who are planning to apply to graduate school in the fall of 2021 (for entry in fall 2022), and who are interested in investigating vision science as an area of research. Citizens of all countries are eligible. The application deadline is March 26th, 2021.

Application instructions are available on the CVR summer school website (https://www.yorku.ca/cvr/summer-school/ ).  We are accepting applications from now until March 26th, 2021. Applicants will be notified of decisions by mid-April. We expect to accept between 30 and 40 students.
