Dear Ph.D. students,

Registrations are now open for the 8th edition of the School, which will take place on 21–25 September 2026 in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy.

The goal of the Summer School is to bring together internationally renowned researchers, industry experts, PhD students, early-career researchers, and engineers from across Europe and beyond for a week dedicated to learning, collaboration, and innovation in Cyber-Physical Systems.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• attend lectures and interactive sessions delivered by leading experts from top universities, research institutions, and industry. 
• explore cutting-edge topics such as AI, Compute Continuum, System Security, Edge Computing, and Quantum Computing;
• take part in the Creative Lab, working in multidisciplinary international teams on real-world CPS challenges;
• take part in the CPS Workshop, where they can showcase and discuss their own CPS-related research;
• expand their professional network through lectures, discussions, and social events.

The Summer School is an excellent opportunity for PhD students, early-career researchers, and engineers wishing to deepen their expertise in CPS and connect with the international CPS community.
