Join the EIT Manufacturing Summer School
The Way to Smart Manufacturing: “Machines don’t solve problems - humans solve them together!”
If you are a PhD researcher and you want to boost your abilities and competencies in Smart Manufacturing, this event provides current or prospective PhD students with the necessary skills, practical know-how, attitudes and values to meet the complex demands found in the industry 4.0 environment.
The EITM Summer School will be the opportunity for self-driven, ambitious PhD candidates to broaden their network with potential European partners and to boost their abilities and competencies in advanced tools for the design, implementation, organization, quality assessment and improvement of intelligent manufacturing systems.
Programme Outline
Starts remotely (16th of September) with workshops where industrial partners pitch industrial challenges and students collaboratively work on their solutions. During the “central week” (28th-30th September) students work together (in blended mode) in 8 hours of hacking time together with local mentors to translate their innovation into a feasible business solution. School includes lectures and hands-on training on: design thinking, proof of concept, ROS, levels of autonomy, etc.
Due to COVID19 restrictions the school will be held in blended mode; sessions will be on-line (MS Teams) and students will attend from their universities.
