The PhD in SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ELECTRONIC AND TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING (STIET), is promoted by the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department (DITEN) in agreement with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Ph.D. STIET Course is coordinated by Prof. Maurizio Valle and it is organized into three curriculum:
- Electromagnetism, Electronics, Telecommunications;
- Interactive Cognitive Environments;
- Computational vision, recognition and machine learning (developed entirely at IIT)
Each student, if foreseen by his / her training plan, will be provided with an access to databases for the development of his / her research, a space within a research laboratory and one (or more, one according to the needs) processing and programming tools so that the research work can be carried out effectively.
STIET has very precise didactic and scientific rules (reported on the PhD website) which are transmitted to the students at the beginning of the PhD Course and are mandatory to be admitted to the next year and, at the end of the PhD, to the final exam. The PhD student is assigned with one or more Tutors, first responsible for the student's learning and scientific activity. At least one of the Tutors must be a university professor or a member of the Teaching Board.
STIET Teaching Board involves carefully selected international experts.

CPS Summer School 2023
Designing Cyber-Physical Systems – From concepts to implementation
Alghero - Sardinia - Italy
September 18-22, 2023
Application deadline: May 31, 2023
Acceptance notification: June 02, 2023
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex and autonomous ensembles of different components that interact to offer smart and adaptive functionalities. These systems are increasingly used in a variety of applications with a growing market, potentially bringing about significant social benefits. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there are several new challenges and trade-offs to face when designing CPS, especially since they should be able to adapt to the changing and uncertain environments or heal themselves. Interactions with humans as users and/or as operators complicate the scenarios of these ever increasingly pervasive systems, requiring to address trust and security related challenges.
The CPS summer school is targeted at students, research scientists, and R&D experts from academia and industry, who want to learn about CPS engineering and applications. The program is composed of both lectures and practical sessions, covering all the design phases of CPS (i.e., from concept to the definition of the final system and the discussion of the key challenges).
This year topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Market trends for CPS
- Hardware/software and multi-view modelling
- Adaptivity support and architectures
- Tools for high-level synthesis, hardware/software co-design, and coarse/fine reconfiguration
- Security management is CPS
Application and Registration (http://www.cpsschool.eu/application/)
The school is open to up to 40 participants.
Application deadline: May 31, 2023

*****************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite you to the PhD Summer School of Information Engineering - SSIE 2023, co-organized by the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) at the University of Padova (Italy), and the IEEE Italy section. SSIE will take place exclusively in presence in Brixen, Italy, on July 10th-14th, continuing on a decades-long tradition.
As always, the school program has been carefully shaped, securing talks from leading experts in the ICT field. This year, the school theme will be on upcoming 6G systems and networks, with talks on:
- machine learning and mathematical optimization: Latest developments on the following topics: i) neural network architecture search, ii) adversarial machine learning, iii) designing efficient and modular neural networks, iv) meta-heuristic optimization techniques.
- Programmable networks/software defined networking: i) Programmable networks for distributed deep learning, ii) FPGA-based software-defined programming for 6G wireless network systems.
- Key technologies for 6G mobile networks: i) Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) for 6G mobile networks, ii) intelligent and reconfigurable surfaces (IRS) for next-generation mobile networks, iii) advances on multimedia signal processing: heading towards the metaverse.
- Cybersecurity: New threats and solutions for the digital era.
PROGRAM & REGISTRATION
The school program is available at:
https://ssie.dei.unipd.it/technical-program-ssie-2023/
Registration is now open, with June 30th, 2023 as a deadline for enrolling. Registration link:

STUDENT WORKSHOP
SSIE will feature a half-day student workshop, where students will present their research activity. The best presentation will receive an award, jointly presented by the IEEE Italy Section and the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) at the University of Padova.
5 CREDITS
Moreover, Ph.D. Students participating in the School will be awarded 5 credits from their doctoral school (further instructions will be given during the School).
We dearly hope many of you will join in, to enjoy the wide range of interesting and stimulating lessons, and the natural beauty of our School in Brixen and its surroundings.
Looking forward to seeing you all in July in Brixen.
Warm regards,
The SSIE 2023 Co-organizers
