Description
-----------------

IAOA [2] has worked on a new educational effort under the name Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) that shall be suited for learning about topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and foundations. The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology (ISAO) (cf. [3]; next edition in 2023), but -- in times of the Corona pandemic -- it is complementary in format and its overall approach. The basic idea is a combination of an archive of educational material (for the beginning, short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and discussing that material.

The second Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BoSK 2021) [4] includes a Launch Event for this new series, which offers a number of webinar sessions according to the new format on a single day.

The ESAO Launch Day will be held in hybrid format on Sep 10, 2021 (Friday), preceding the FOIS conference (Sep 13-16, 2021) [7] in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Hybrid means that the experts and the audience can join locally or remotely. The physical event will take place at the Kolpinghaus Bozen, Largo Adolph Kolping 3, Bolzano, Italy [6].
The Launch Day as well as the overall ESAO Series is open for and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike.
