An International Summer School on Educational Technology will be held at the Mekrijärvi Research Station of the University of Joensuu, in the easternmost community in Finland, some 70 km from the town of Joensuu. The Summer School in Mekrijärvi belongs to the group of summer school events organized within the theme of educational technology.

The summer school offers an excellent opportunity for an intensive week of working with Phd students and research fellows with various academic backgrounds. The summer school is a forum for meeting new people and for getting acquainted with them. It is also a place to foster collaboration between scholars.

This is the fourth time the summer school will be organized in Mekrijärvi. In previous years, PhD students and fellow academics from different parts of the world have been mentored by lecturers such as Dr. Piet Kommers (University of Twente), Dr. Looi-Chee Kit (National University of Singapore), Prof. Kinshuk (Massey University), Dr. Wolfram Laaser (Fern Universität), Dr. Esko Kähkönen (University of Joensuu), and Prof. Erkki Sutinen (University of Joensuu).
