E³UDRES²

AI, research, and collaboration — all in one Summer School 💡

For five days, 28 master’s and PhD students from six European countries came together in Timișoara for the second edition of the E³UDRES² PhD Summer School, hosted by Universitatea Politehnica Timisoara.

Under the theme “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Science and Education”, participants explored how AI is shaping research, learning, and the future of higher education through expert sessions, practical workshops, mentoring, and collaborative activities.

The programme also created space for exchange beyond the academic sessions, from discovering Timișoara to experiencing UPT’s immersive 360° Igloo Vision space.

The Summer School concluded with research presentations, certificates, E³UDRES² digital badges, and 2 credits for participants who completed all practical activities.

The event also featured the participation of – Center for Circular Materials, Innovation and Education, one of the E³UDRES² prospective Centers of Excellence, bringing additional perspective on circular materials, innovation, research-driven education, and sustainable regional impact.

Another step in strengthening the E³UDRES² community of young researchers across Europe. 🌍
