Our Community

The WARA Media & Language community brings together researchers, PhD students and industry partners. Through events and collaborative projects, we foster cross-disciplinary dialogue, support real-world research applications and build lasting academic and industry partnerships. We create spaces, both physical and digital where members can exchange ideas, test new approaches and learn from each other.

Opportunities for PhD Students

We offer a range of opportunities for PhD students to deepen their expertise and expand their professional networks. A highlight is the annual WASP Summer School held at the Visualization Center in Norrköping. The week-long program features expert lectures on topics such as generative language models, invertible neural networks and speech synthesis. Students work together to design prototype avatars and present their insights in the immersive 3D dome theatre. The Summer School provides both advanced academic input and meaningful connections with peers, researchers and industry professionals.

In addition, we host various workshops and events throughout the year in collaboration with our partners.
