An international group of engineering, programmers, designers and artists will congregate in Amsterdam for a 10 day summer academy hosted by native Amsterdam community Hackers & Designers (H&D). The program is intensive and workshop based and will include additional public components for which also non-summer academy attendees are invited to attend.

About the Summer Talks In addition to student workshops, Hackers & Designers has invited cross-disciplinary speakers from around the world to take the participants and the public into a deeper conversation around topics, which have arose in a modern digital society. Anyone and everyone, not just students, are invited to join the H&D Summer Talks on Friday, 7 August 2015, an evening of discussion around algorithmic work, life and death. The speakers promise an informed evening offering insights and diverse perspectives into their research, professional and artistic practices, but all the while maintaining the satirical and humorous approach of Hackers & Designers.

About the Summer Academy This summer, 29 July - 7 August 2015, H&D has broadened their meet-up concept and has invited an international group of ambitious participants for a 10 full-day immersive program of longer, in-depth workshops which focus on learning, researching and discussing all by creating.
