Summary

Students were offered the opportunity to make and deepen international connections
within audio students, creating awareness and professional education needs in the field of
audio, increase their skills through participation in lectures and workshops, as well as the
presentation of professional hardware and software solutions. The students had the
opportunity to establish contacts and possible future participation in exchanges and other
international programs. A website was available on www.cess-2011.eu. The participants
were obliged to register through the registration form.
Most points of the program proceeded without complications. It turned out that the meeting
planned for friday at 16h was to early, most of the participants appeared later, which
disrupted the plan a bit, but from the product presentation on everything proceeded
