Inspiring Europe’s Future Electronics Talent

The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), together with AENEAS, EPoSS, and INSIDE, proudly announces the third edition of the ECS Summer School. Scheduled from August 24–29, 2025, this edition, themed “Fascinating Electronics for a Cool World,” will take place at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary. The event is designed to inspire and attract talented students to Europe’s Electronics Components and Systems community.

Since its launch in October 2023, ECSA has aimed to tackle the ongoing shortage of skilled professionals in the semiconductor industry. Collaborating closely with industry leaders, academia, and regulatory bodies, the Academy develops initiatives to upskill current professionals, attract new talent, and facilitate reskilling for professionals from related sectors.

In response to the urgent need identified by the European Commission—highlighted by over three-quarters of EU companies—the ECS Summer School will showcase current and future possibilities within microelectronics. Students will explore diverse applications, including sensor interfaces, power devices, radio frequencies, and digital technologies.
