Rationale and objectives
Rationale and objectives
The recent change of perspective known also as “Space 2.0” will revolutionize the paradigms of satellite and, more in general, aerospace communications. The old role of “sky repeaters” attributed to Space network nodes no longer copes with the emerging requirements of flexibility, global and ubiquitous connectivity already emerged in the 5G vision. In such a perspective, the role of satellites will be reconsidered in the framework of "softwarized", reconfigurable and sustainable network infrastructures.The Ph.D. Summer School Frontier Technologies for “Space 2.0” Communications (third edition) aims at offering an overview of the most advanced technologies concerning a renewed vision of Space connectivity for the next decades. This year, the School is financially supported by IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) and patronaged by Italian Space Agency and by European Union under the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) of NextGenerationEU partnership on “Telecommunications of the Future” (PE00000001 – program “RESTART”).
Where, when, how?
Where, when, how?
Thanks to the financial support of AESS and the patronage of ASI, the Summer school will be held in mixed modality: in presence and in remote. The in-presence part of the School will be held in the central headquarter of Italian Space Agency (ASI), Via del Politecnico snc, Rome, Italy in the quarter of "Tor Vergata" (see picture above). A Zoom link will be made available by AESS to those students who will want to attend the School in remote modality.
Registration and participation are COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. The registration form will be made available by AESS soon (please, check the web site: https://ieee-aess.org)
At the end of the School, a Certification of attendance will be delivered to all the attending students. A final exam is foreseen for the students that can earn credits from the attendance of the Summer School.
