Horizons for Information Societies (HIS) seminars promote communication and collaborations at the since 2006. Bi-monthly talks on information technologies foster the dissemination of, and feedback on, research with 30-minutes long presentations and 20-minutes long discussions. So far, seminars evoked data processing, linguistic support, quantum information, affective interface agents, virtual humans, sensors & monitoring, and ubiquitous computing.
