(4th Edition)

1st to 5th July 2019 in Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy)

After three impressive schools in Ghent University (Belgium), ePIXfab’s 4th edition of the silicon photonics summer school is coming to Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy).

This edition of the summer school is tailor-made for participants to learn all the way from basics of silicon photonics science and technology to its applications in an ever-growing set of areas. Industrial and academic experts from across the globe will be delivering tutorials on hot-topics and emerging developments in this dynamically changing field. The school provides the audience with an excellent opportunity to engage and interact with the top-notch experts in this field.

The school will run from 1st July to 5th July 2019 in Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy).

You will be re-directed to the payment system of Sant’ Anna School of Advanced Studies.

Geared towards industrial and academic participants, this school goes all the way from fundamentals to the latest developments in the science and technology of silicon PIC design, fabrication, assembly and testing for ever-growing applications of silicon photonics.
