It is expected that the students attending the School will use their own PC for the hands-on laboratories. Under each topic there will be (when available) recommendations and suggestions about software and tools that will be used during the lessons and the laboratories.
Under each topic there will be also copy of the slides used during the lessons, as they become available, and “suggested readings” about the topics presented during the School.
Welcome to the Summer School 2025
