The proposed summer school is designed to offer an intensive and interdisciplinary educational experience focused on the development, integration, and application of advanced micro- and nano-technologies, with particular emphasis on sensors and smart systems. The programme is structured around five key research domains (pillars): sustainable agriculture, cultural heritage preservation, environmental protection, healthcare, and smart energy mobility, areas in which these enabling technologies are playing an increasingly transformative role.
The summer school will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how sensors, electronics, data analytics, and system integration work together to solve complex challenges. The programme bridges foundational science with practical, domain-specific applications across the five focus areas.

The programme bridges foundational science with practical, domain-specific applications across the five focus areas.
Focusing on the expected outcomes, by the end of the programme, participants will have gained a comprehensive understanding of micro- and nano-technologies for micromachining and the design of sensors and transducers, covering everything from fundamental design principles and materials to fabrication processes and system-level integration.
Through a combination of focused lectures and hands-on activities, students will develop practical skills in prototyping, data acquisition and analysis, as well as in applying these techniques to real-time and large-scale scenarios. Thanks to its interdisciplinary structure, the school will enable participants to apply sensor-based solutions, novel measurement systems, and innovative electronic devices across diverse fields such as sustainable agriculture, cultural heritage preservation, environmental protection, healthcare, and smart energy and mobility. Participants will learn how to tailor their expertise to address the specific needs and challenges of each domain.
The course is aimed at students having a technological scientific background and a particular interest in Sustainable Agriculture, Cultural Heritage, Environmental Protection, Healthcare and Smart Energy Mobility. The required study level is PhD, Master, plus last year Bachelor doing their final thesis on the topic of the Summer School.
