Therefore, the summer school aims to present the fundamental aspects of situation awareness in cognitive technologies which can be discussed in an interdisciplinary context. There are a couple of aspects to consider: Situation Awareness, Cognitive Technologies, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Explainable AI (XAI). Especially the HCI context provides a link between theory and application which receives special attention in this summer school along with the recent trends in Explainable AI. To make this school an interactive learning experience, we would encourage the participants to share their research presentations (posters) related to the above-mentioned topics. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This year’s edition intends to bring together academia and industry to provide a large practical perspective to undergraduate and graduate (including early-stage PhD) students, as well as to young industry personnel.
