Coherent optical communications systems form the backbone of the worldwide information and communications infrastructure. Three world-leading experts in this field will teach this summer school and will cover hands-on experimental skills in coherent optical communications. It is co-located with the IEEE Summer Topicals and will take place from July 20th to 23rd 2025 in Berlin. Attendees of the summer school will have half-day classes and half-day presence at the conference to listen to talks of their choice and engage in discussions with the attendees.
This summer school is intended for master students in electrical engineering or related fields who have initial experience with optical communications (passed lectures, taken lab classes, etc.).
Thanks to generous sponsoring from NOKIA, attendees can receive partial funding towards travel and accommodation costs. Keysight is supporting this event by providing technical equipment. NICT is kindly sponsoring event logistics. The IEEE Photonics Society will provide free registration to the IEEE Summer Topicals for attendees to the summer school.
The application deadline is the 15th of April 2025. Please submit a CV (max. 1 page), a short letter of motivation (max 300 words), and the contact information of an academic supervisor to summer_school@int.uni-stuttgart.de
Please elaborate in your motivation letter on how you intend to apply the knowledge and skills gained from the summer school to make a positive impact in your future academic endeavors.
