4th AFCEA Europe Student Conference
"People, Projects and Perceptions - Social Networking and More!"
30 May 2012, Hotel Praha, Prague, Czech Republic
With a visit to the Police Academy on the next day.
As a follow up to the student conference “People, Projects and Perceptions – even thinking is participation!” that took place in London in October 2010 AFCEA Europe’s fourth student conference, was held at the same time as TechNet Europe 2012, represented another opportunity for students to present short papers on subjects with international appeal focussing this time on Social Networks such as Google, Facebook and Twitter.
The programme also allowed easy access to the TechNet Europe Exhibition and plenty of networking.
Following the format of the previous conferences, students were invited to give a 10-minute presentation, in English, of their current research and experiences.
