Summer School SECOIAS
International Summer School on Security and Communication in Aerospace Embedded Systems
June 23 to July 3 2026 at INSA Toulouse
Electronic embedded systems play a vital role in avionics and spacecraft industry. They ensure functions as essential as navigation, communication, flying, landing control, monitoring, sensing, image processing, data transfer, ..., which must operate reliably and safely. They are also fueling the future of aerospace industry through the development of breakthrough technologies and the miniaturization to meet the cost and energy consumption reduction challenges.
The aim of the the summer school SECOIAS is to enable students to acquire basic theoretical and practical knowledge on several major issues linked to the aerospace industry: embedded systems, wireless telecommunications and security. The teaching approach is mainly based on hands-on learning. It includes introductory courses, lectures by industrialists and researchers in the field, and a visit to a laboratory.
Four main modules:
+ A guided visit to Carcassonne (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
