INTR/HT Summer School

Dates

Are you a graduate student and enthusiastic about hypertext research and technology? Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in the upcoming INTR/HT Summer School at the prestigious 2026 ACM Hypertext Conference.

The INTR/HT Summer School is an intensive study of hypertext theory and practice funded by SIGWEB for master’s and PhD level students, with the goal of educating the next generation hypertext researchers. It takes place online during the summer and culminates as in-person study over the two-day period, September 12–13, leading into the ACM Hypertext ’26 conference in London, England at the London College of Communication.

Instruction is held seminar-style and taught by leading hypertext researchers. Topics include the hypertext field and community, research methodologies, research practices and opportunities, publications and the ACM style guidelines, and ethics and professional conduct. Students will also gain insights about the ACM Hypertext conference structure, SIGWEB, and ACM. At the end of the program, students will have gained a greater understanding of the field, built expertise as a hypertext researcher, developed a network of colleagues, and become better prepared to participate in future ACM conferences.

Students will participate in the conference via a special poster session where they can receive feedback and guidance about their research idea and poster.

Up to fifteen students selected for this cohort of the INTR/HT Summer School will receive:

• Full funding for travel expenses
• Housing accommodations
• Free access to HT’26 workshops and the main conference.

To be considered for the INTR/HT Summer School, students must submit:

• A scientific poster outlining your current or future work in hypertext, size ISO A0 (portrait, 841 × 1189 mm / 33.1 × 46.8 inches) in PDF format. The poster may be published on Zenodo. For LaTeX poster templates see, for example, https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/poster
• A current curriculum vitae (CV) in PDF format.

Submission instructions will be available on this website soon.

Submissions will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Scientific writing quality
• Ambition and relevance of the research
• Alignment with the hypertext community
• Adherence to Submission Requirements (see above)

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to engage with the hypertext community and further your research ambitions! Submit your application today and be part of the INTR/HT Summer School 2026 at the ACM Hypertext Conference.
