READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Attendance to these courses will give you credits that will help you obtain the EELISA Supplement. If you want these courses to be also accepted as credits for your school year, you need to proceed as-is:

  • Apply for the course at the host institution
  • Get an acceptance letter from the person in charge of the course
  • Show the acceptance letter to the dean of studies (international affairs) of your home institution
  • Get approval from your dean of studies
  • Get a certificate of attendance and validation of the course at the host institution at the end of the course (after examination, if this applies)
  • Transmit the certificate to the dean of studies at your home institution.

Please, note that the dates for some of the courses are based on those from the academic year 2020-2021. For the latest update on each course date, please request more information from the contact person. For a larger list of courses, you are advised to contact the international affairs office of your institution.

Advanced Neurogenomics

WHAT

Aims of the course are:

1) to educate students in the critical reading of omics-based publication both for the experimental and data analysis parts

2) to illustrate how these technologies have provided novel insights into the functional organization of the nervous system and

3) to provide students with the knowledge necessary to design their own omics-based projects, perform initial data analysis and interact with bioinformaticians for more complex analysis

AfriCon – Africonnections: Transdisciplinary approaches to Development, Security and Innovation

WHAT

Africa has a central role to play in developing solutions to the global challenges of the next decades. While the African continent has experienced considerable economic and demographic growth, urbanization and development of digital technologies, on the other hand, challenges have emerged such as climate change, food insecurity, migration, disputed governance of resources, violent extremism, political instability and inequality. The Seasonal School will introduce participants to a transdisciplinary approach, drawn from the fields of political science, international law, agriculture, political economy, management and health, that will provide integrated knowledge, methodologies and tools to answer the questions that will increasingly guide international research and practice on sustainable development issues in Africa.

Agent based models in Economics: theory, toolkit, and policy laboratories

WHAT

The Institute of Economics of Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies launches the second Seasonal School in “Agent based models in Economics: theory, toolkit and policy laboratories”.
The Seasonal School is intended to achieve the following objectives:

Learning of agent-based modelling techniques (ABMs) as a tool of analysis and interpretation of economic and social processes.
Development and design of agent-based models through software laboratories (Laboratory for Simulation Development platform).
Introduction to statistical and econometric techniques for the analysis of macro-evolutionary agent-based models (R software).
Competencies provided include:

Theories and applications of agent-based models in micro and macroeconomics uncovering diverse thematic areas such as technical progress, economic cycles, labour markets, economic growth, climate change.
Empirical validation and analysis of models’ parametric space.
Scenarios-based analysis and policy experiments.

AgriDev – Climate resilient, biodiversity-based agriculture for sustainable development

WHAT

Cropping systems in the XXI Century face complex challenges that cannot be addressed with unidimensional solutions. AgriDev program spans through climate science, agrobiodiversity, and agricultural economics, with a focus on participatory approaches, with the aim of developing new angles to engage momentous challenges in food security, sustainability, and climate change adaptation. Students will develop a portfolio of knowledge at the base of cutting edge scientific approaches in research for sustainable development, with a focus on smallholder agriculture. The seasonal school is structured in interconnected modules. The first module will explore climate science, discussing key concepts in climate change, and climate-agriculture nexus. The second module will deal with agrobiodiversity, its relevance for sustainability and provision of ecosystem services. The third module will discuss breeding approaches and means to enhance varietal development and recommendation. The fourth module will discuss themes of economic development and agriculture and explore the nexus between climate change and inequality. Finally, the students will be engaged in a role game in which they will be tasked to design a project proposal to be submitted to a European Union financing scheme. Eventually, AgriDev will build a holistic interpretation of sustainable intensification of farming systems combining climate, agronomy, and economics to increase the impact of agricultural research for development.

AIRONE – Artificial Intelligence and RObotics in exteNded rEality

WHAT

In the forthcoming decade, technologies of eXtended Reality (XR), i.e., Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, and collaborative robots will become ubiquitous. Then, the XR combination with robots and human-centric Artificial Intelligence will enable distributed environments where humans, robots and virtual entities coexist and may become the sentient embodiment of remote human operators. The AIRONE School will cover specific research topics underpinning this paradigm shift affecting technology, perception and interaction ways.
At the end of the AIRONE School, participants will learn the main aspects of eXtended Reality, the basics for the design and control of collaborative and wearable robots for immersive telepresence, and the fundamentals of Machine Learning and AI applied to Robotics and artificial vision systems.
