The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), an EU-funded project coordinated by SEMI Europe, in collaboration with industry partners AENEAS, EPoSS, and INSIDE, has announced the launch of the ECS Summer School 2025. The five-day event themed 'Fascinating Electronics for a Cool World’ is designed to inspire and attract new talent to Europe's electronic components and systems sector. This year’s session will take place at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary from August 24-29, 2025.
The program will feature interactive workshops, expert-led discussions, networking sessions, and practical insights into cutting-edge microelectronics and semiconductor technologies. Students enrolled in STEM-related fields from universities across the EU or associated countries are invited to apply until 30 April 2025.
"Initiatives like the ECS Summer School are crucial for inspiring and nurturing the next generation of talent fueling the talent pipeline," said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe.
By engaging directly with leading experts, students will acquire skills and insights essential for their future roles in Europe's rapidly evolving technology landscape.
"The ECS Summer School is an excellent gateway for students to gain practical knowledge and establish valuable industry connections,” said Patrick Cogez, Technical Director at AENEAS and lead partner in ECSA for the organisation of the Summer School.
Applications are now open to STEM students enrolled at universities in the EU and associated countries who have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies and have at least one more year of study ahead. The ECS Summer School 2025 is entirely free for selected participants, with applications closing on 30 April 2025 at 17:00 CET.

Volatile Metals Market Creates PCB Pricing Headache
04/20/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Market volatility for precious metals is very real. Financial organizations have reported elevated volatility, with record highs and steep corrections; in 2025 alone, gold has increased by over 60%, silver over 120%, and copper over 35%. Each is a critical raw material used in electronics manufacturing, where pricing is already fraught for business owners and their customers due to tariff uncertainty and a critical supply chain that resides mostly in China. The volatility of precious metals markets adds yet another layer of complexity for manufacturers, pushing up raw material costs.
