ECS Summer School 2025

ECS Summer School 2025 in Budapest - Fascinating Electronics for a Cool World 

AENEAS, EPoSS, INSIDE and The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA) project have joined forces again to organise the third edition of the ECS Summer School, targeting students who have been enrolled for at least two years of undergraduate studies and have at least one more year to go. 

This edition of the 'Fascinating Electronics for a Cool World' will be held at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary, 24 to 29 August, 2025. The event aims at inspiring and attracting new talents in the European Electronics Components and Systems community.

Facing the problem of the lack of necessary skills, which is now signalled by more than three quarters of EU companies(1), the European Commission is encouraging strong engagement of young people, therefore providing an opportunity to get quality jobs and contribute to Europe's digital transition and sustainable growth.
Answering this need to step up and advance skills development in the Electronic Components and Systems sector, AENEAS, EPoSS, INSIDE industry associations and the ECSA consortium want to introduce to selected students some of the possibilities offered by present microelectronic devices and foreseen future applications, showing the fascinating world of microelectronics in various fields such as sensor interfaces, power devices, radio-frequencies and digital.
