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.<br style="color:rgb(32, 31,
30);font-size:14.666666984558105px">

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.<br style="color:rgb(32, 31,

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].<br>
