The increasing need for both automated and privacy-respecting CCTV systems adds many challenges to the tasks of video analytics.  The VideoSense Winter School 2014 aims to bring together young researchers working in the field of multimodal and privacy-respecting video analytics, offering:

- lectures delivered by experts from academy and industry providing a clear and in-depth summary of state-of-the-art research in the field,

- enjoyable and stimulating environment in which participants will benefit not only from the formal and practical sessions but also from informal and social interactions with established researchers and the other participants to the Winter School.
