The project, entitled: Vinci RELOAD Summer School, mainly assumes the organizing of an international summer school dedicated to the best worldwide students. The choice of support results from the popularity of the so-called short-term programs, including summer schools and other educational programs lasting from 2 to 8 weeks. The project will be realized in the period from 09/06/2026 to 17/1/07/2026.
Students from EU and non-EU countries who have completed at least one year of first-cycle studies or are in the process of second-cycle studies (computer science or chemical sciences or physical sciences or materials engineering) can apply to the VINCI RELOAD School. Attention! We do not recruit Ph.D. students for the project. Each of the participants of the School will receive a scholarship. Students will stay three weeks at the University of Silesia in Poland.
Organisers
The Faculty of Science and Technology conducts the School with the support of four Scientific institutes: Institute of Chemistry, Institute of Physics, Institute of Computer Science, Institute of Materials Engineering
SPIN-Lab Centre for Microscopic Research on Matter - an interfaculty science centre of the University of Silesia in Katowice dedicated to advanced microscopic studies, established on 16 October 2017. Centre was created to combine competences in education, research, development, and commercialization in the fields of nano- and microscopy from departments and institutes of University of Silesia in Katowice conducting microscopy research
Programme
The Vinci RELOAD Summer School Programme offers basic and advanced physics, chemistry, computer science, and materials engineering courses. Summer Students will attend a series of lectures specially prepared for them. Moreover, School gives a unique opportunity to join in the day-to-day work of research teams participating in experiments at the Faculty of Science and Technology University of Silesia. The courses on the polish culture in the School of Polish Language and Culture and one excur are also part of the program.
