The first edition of the Summer School will be held from June 15th to June 19th, 2026.
Each day is structured around four teaching sessions—two in the morning before the lunch break and two in the afternoon and early evening—covering theoretical foundations, applied methods, and hands-on PC tutorials.
On the final day, participants will present their research proposals.
All participants will be awarded with a certificate of attendance upon completion of the Summer School
