Key Summary
About: The Summer School Beyond 5G at The University of Pisa offers 6 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) (48 hours). It targets final-year bachelor, master and PhD students, researchers and practitioners. The programme covers 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks, enabling technologies and research challenges. Lessons run in Pisa and online via TEAMS. The course requires min 10 and max 40 participants.
Career Outcomes: Participants can enter roles such as network engineer, wireless researcher, R&D engineer or technical consultant, or pursue doctoral study. Skills suit telecom operators, vendors, startups and research labs working on wireless networks and IoT.
The Summer School "Beyond 5G: Enabling Technologies, Opportunities and Research Challenges Ahead" is organized to offer 6 ECTS (48 hours of front lessons) in the broad field of 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks, targeting an audience of Bachelor (last year), Master and PhD students, early stage researchers and practitioners from Academia or Industry.
The technologies, opportunities and research challenges of 5G networks will be presented and discussed during the school.
The Summer School will be activated with at least 10 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 40 students.
Lessons will be held in Pisa, at the Department of Information Engineering, in Via G. Caruso, 16, Pisa.
The program will be activated also in distance learning mode (TEAMS platform).
As we move beyond 5G (B5G), the landscape of connectivity is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Together with high-capacity fixed networks, B5G will drive the digital transformation, offering unprecedented improvements over previous generations in speed, latency, terminal density, and energy efficiency. However, the true breakthrough of B5G lies in its ability to enable a wide array of new services and applications, including those for non-human users. By leveraging software-driven networks and seamless cloud integration, B5G will unlock transformative use cases across multiple sectors such as agriculture, commerce, defense, energy, finance, healthcare, industry, media, public administration, safety, and transportation.
This Summer School explores the enabling technologies, methodologies, and future applications of 5G and B5G networks. Participants will gain valuable insights into the architecture and potential of these next generation networks, with no prior knowledge required. By the end of the program, attendees will have a solid foundation in B5G technology and its role in shaping future innovation across industries.
