International Doctoral Summer School on Conversational Systems for Health
Applications (Granada - Spain, 1st - 3rd Sept 2022)

Conversational systems enable interaction between humans and computers by
means of speech, written language, and other modalities. Among the various
areas in which they are used, their application in the health domain has
garnered increased recognition over recent years. For example,
conversational systems may be deployed for treatment and monitoring
purposes, health service support, health education, lifestyle behavior
change, diagnosis, etc.

The summer school on Conversational Systems for Health Applications
provides a platform for getting to know and discuss current approaches and
research streams in the field of conversational systems with a focus on
application in the health domain. The aim is to bring together early-stage
and senior researchers in computer science, psychology, and engineering as
well as domain experts in the health sector in an international,
multidisciplinary learning experience to help young researchers to improve
their academic foundation and expand their skill set. The format of the
summer school comprises keynote contributions given by experienced
researchers followed by engaging discussions in small breakout groups.
Topics of these discussions will emerge from the PhD-thesis topics of the
participants.

Organization: The MENHIR summer school is organized in the core of the H2020
European project MENHIR https://menhir-project.eu, which investigates the
use of chatbots to engage users in the management of their own wellbeing
providing a continued and immediate assistance that complements
increasingly saturated mental health services.

Followed by the sucess of our doctoral school in 2020, this time the summer
school 2022 will take place * in person in Granada (Spain)* in the
beautiful Carmen
de la Victoria.

Dates: 1st - 3rd September 2022
