Quantum Technologies

About

The FBK Pioneers in Research Summer School is an innovative program crafted to immerse students in the dynamic field of microelectronics technology. The focus of 2025 edition will be on Quantum Technologies. Taking place from September 8th to 12th, 2025, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and gain practical experience in a non-traditional academic setting. Participants will delve into semiconductor device fabrication entering state-of-the-art cleanrooms and characterization laboratories.

Students will have the possibility to follow step by step the fabrication of devices supported by senior researchers. Besides this unique opportunity, they will enter the “quantum experience” thanks to dedicated lessons and hand-on on superconducting and photonics topics.

The program is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, preparing students to become leaders in scientific innovation.

Target group

The Summer School is open to Master’s students specializing in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry.
Applicants must be currently enrolled in a relevant academic program by September 2025.

The 2025 edition program is tailored for those eager to expand their knowledge and skills in quantum technologies.

FBK is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and supportive environment for all. We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all genders and backgrounds. The Foundation values diversity as a key driver of innovation and scientific progress, and this Summer School is open to all eligible students who share our curiosity, ambition, and passion for research

Course aim

Participants will benefit from a hands-on approach, working in state-of-the-art facilities and collaborating with peers and mentors. This experience not only enhances technical skills but also fosters critical thinking and innovation. This transformative experience is designed to inspire and prepare the next generation of researchers.

Our mission is to cultivate the next generation of researchers by providing an intensive learning environment that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application.
