Before our students there is still the summer semester of study, but it’s already worth thinking about what comes next, especially since we have good news. The Unite! Consortium is organizing attractive summer courses!
This is a unique opportunity to acquire new skills, deepen knowledge, expand international contacts, and spend the summer break at one of the best European technical universities. It’s also a great opportunity to combine education with pleasure and spend time in the alpine city of Grenoble or the energetic city of Helsinki.
Ginsen Summer School is a summer undergraduate study program entirely conducted in English, organized by Grenoble INP Graduate Schools of Engineering and Management, Université Grenoble Alpes.
In the heart of the French Alps, you will study at one of the highest-rated French engineering institutes and have the chance to work in state-of-the-art research centers and enhance your knowledge in the field of energy or nanotechnology.
What’s in the program?
Ginsen offers 2 options that allow you to discover and deepen knowledge in your chosen engineering field: nanotechnology or Smart Energy.
The two-week program includes:
academic classes (some are common to both options, others are specific to each field),
practical workshops,
a rich social and cultural program, including visits to world-class research centers, guided tours of Grenoble and its surroundings, game tournaments, pub quizzes, etc.
For Whom?
Micro_and_Nanotechnology – the program is aimed at students of physics, biology, chemistry, applied physics, telecommunications, materials science, or electrical engineering, bachelor’s and first year of master’s studies.
Smart_Energy – this program is available to computer science or energy engineering students (bachelor’s and first year of master’s studies).
Dates:
Applications – online registration until March 20th
Admissions period – from March 20th to 31st
Course dates – June 19th – July 7th (with an additional option for those interested to extend the program by one week, until July 13th)

This course will teach you how modern technology is utilized in user-oriented prototyping processes. The program covers the theory and practice of design thinking and its applications in various contexts.
It is primarily aimed at students of design and engineering in their second and third year of undergraduate studies. Other disciplines may be accepted if there are still available slots.
Important Information:
Application Deadline – March 1st – May 15th.
Course Dates – August 7th – 25th, 3 weeks.
Fees – the course is free of charge.
Course participants are required to cover their own travel and accommodation costs as well as additional activities after classes. There is a possibility of funding through the Erasmus+ program (to inquire, simply send a request to the International Cooperation Department).

This is another summer course proposal from Aalto University. This time, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge about communication and data science for industrial applications.
Communication networks generate vast amounts of data, coming from both customers and network operators. Telecommunication operators and other major players in the industry are highly interested in experts in both telecommunications and data science. This course will help you become such an expert.
The course offering will cover a range of current, industry-relevant topics related to mathematics, signal and system modeling and analysis, electronics, data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. It is intended for third-year engineering undergraduate and master’s students in technical fields such as computer science, electrical engineering, or computer engineering.
Important Information:
Application Deadline – March 1st – May 15th.
Course Dates – August 21st – September 1st, 2 weeks.
Fees – the course is free of charge.
