LRC Summer School

The 6th LRC Internationalisation and Localisation Summer School will take place from the 12th to the 15th of June 2006 at the University of Limerick in Ireland. The Summer School will offer attendees an in-depth look at, and hands-on experience of, localisation - from basic introductions to advanced concepts, and will include an intensive one day course in .NET localisation.

This year’s LRC Summer School includes an overnight trip (by bus & plane) to the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Participants will have the unique opportunity to compare notes and network, while enjoying one of the most scenic places on earth. Click here for further details.
