10 Short courses offered by the university

The Winter School offers a one-week full-time multidisciplinary program. It is devoted to training students with a technical-scientific background on the advances of analysing materials of interest in environmental and green chemistry. Note that, even if the focus of this year is biopolymers, the knowledge acquired during the school may be applied to several other materials. 

The Summer School "Beyond 5G: Enabling Technologies, Opportunities and Research Challenges Ahead" is organized to offer 6 ECTS (48 hours of front lessons) in the broad field of 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks, targeting an audience of Bachelor (last year), Master and PhD students, early stage researchers and practitioners from Academia or Industry.

The Summer Student at Fermilab and Other US Laboratories Certificate from University of Pisa physics students will be trained in the research groups working on the new Fermilab initiatives, or in the Fermilab group which collaborates with the CMS experiment at CERN, or in the theory group. 

The Summer School Human Centric Technologies for the factory and society of the future: an industry 5.0 perspective is the 4th edition of the Summer School Human-Centric ICT for Industry 5.0. It will focus on methodologies and enabling information and communication technologies (ICT) for an autonomous, sustainable, resilient, and person-centered industry.

The Winter School is dedicated to PhD students who perform their research activities in the field of fluid machinery and energy systems engineering, including turbomachinery, internal combustion engines, energy conversion systems, power plants, renewable energy systems and innovative energy systems. 

The International Summer School “The City and the Water”, since 2014, is a Design Full-Time Workshop, aimed at investigating the complex relationships between the built environment and the water, in its broadest meaning of environmental resource, and therefore including seaside, rivers, lakes and water resources.

Through 48 hours of lectures, the program offers a comprehensive introduction to electromagnetics (EM) and its application to the design of communication systems, radar and sensing technologies, wireless networks, and high-frequency circuits. It awards 6 ECTS credits and is offered both on campus, and online.

Fiber-optic sensing has rapidly emerged as a transformative tech for monitoring/understanding many geological, geophysical & environmental processes. By exploiting existing TC infrastructure or purpose-built cables, it enables high-resolution measurements across large spatial/temporal scales, opening new perspectives in environmental monitoring, natural hazard assessment & geophysical exploration.

The Summer School proposes an advanced international programme at the University of Pisa on how design and engineering can jointly guide sustainable innovation in manufacturing. It brings together Master’s students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers to investigate products, production processes and value chains through three connected fields: fashion, furniture and food manufacturing.

This intensive Summer School offers participants a hands-on deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of robotics deployed in unstructured, real-world environments. Over the course of the program, students and early-career researchers will explore the fundamental challenges that distinguish field robotics from its laboratory counterpart.
