The ANMI
This event is being held in conjunction with the Amsterdam New Media Institute (ANMI)
The Amsterdam New Media Institute is a partnership between academic
institutions, schools and businesses in Amsterdam. Its aim is to share
knowledge about new media developments.
The ANMI brings together knowledge about developments in the new media
from a range of institutions and commercial sectors. It encourages the
transfer of that knowledge between organisations, businesses and
government bodies, as well as between professionals, researchers and
students. The goal is to share knowledge in order to generate new
knowledge, creativity and economic activity.
The ANMI Summer School Foundation is dedicated to organizing lectures,
courses, study days and workshops. Where possible, it will also act as a
workplace or laboratory - a place where entrepreneurs, policymakers and
researchers come together to explore the potential for using new media
in the development of new products and services.
