SSIE – PhD Summer School
The PhD Summer School of Information Engineering (SSIE) – “Silvano Pupolin” is organized by the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) at the University of Padova. It has been delivered every summer in Brixen (BZ, Italy) yearly since 1991, reaching its 35th edition in 2026. Since then, our goal has always been the same: sharing cutting-edge science and technology on Information and Communication Technologies in a very nice setting, creating unique networking opportunities for students and lecturers alike.
SSIE 2026 – School Program
School dates: Monday 06 - Friday 10 July, 2026
In line with the school tradition, SSIE 2026 will cover very timely and cutting-edge research areas, covering theory, systems and applications in next-generation telecommunications and electronics.
The PhD School will feature several scientific talks and lectures, social events, plenty of fine food, relaxation and hiking in the alps! Moreover, the registration fee to SSIE 2026 will cover coffee breaks and lunches for all the days of the school.
We are looking forward to a great event, where PhD students will have a unique opportunity to meet and discuss among themselves and with professors. The technical program is exciting, we can’t wait to meet again this year in July, in the beautiful Brixen 🙂
The SSIE Honorary Director
SSIE was first conceived & organized in 1991 by Prof. Silvano Pupolin, an esteemed colleague and mentor, who has been the SSIE Director until 2016. Silvano passed away on February 11, 2018.
We remember him as a passionate Professor and a good man. He always loved organizing this school and, above all, spending time with the students, nurturing a great research community, without asking anything in return. We truly miss him. It is our duty and honor to take his legacy, and continue offering high-quality PhD training schools.
