Orit Shaer and I visited Germany in the summer of 2017 to meet with the students participating in our NSF IRES project. On this trip we worked with our German colleagues, Susanne Boll and Albrecht Schmidt on writing a report about this exciting opportunity for students to gain international experiences. The result is an article in IEEE Pervasive Computing entitled “Ubicomp without borders.”
I hope that our readers will enjoy the report. I also hope that you will join us in our efforts to promote international experiences for students. We feel strongly that international experiences bring value to students, not just as they learn about science and technology, but as they expand their human experiences.
