Description
The call for applications is open. Please click on 'Apply here' to submit your application.

This school and conference is dedicated to teaching key principles of edge intelligence on FPGA-based heterogeneous devices, focusing on real-time processing near data sources and applications in scientific instrumentation.

Modern scientific instruments require online data acquisition systems capable of real-time, parallel processing to reduce data storage and accelerate analysis. Edge intelligence on reconfigurable FPGA-based platforms combines software flexibility with hardware performance for efficient, responsive operation. Through lectures, hands-on sessions, and research presentations, participants will gain practical experience with edge-based solutions, open-source tools, and heterogeneous hardware platforms. The program equips attendees to design and deploy intelligent instrumentation for advanced scientific applications

Topics: 
  • Introduction to Edge Intelligence
  • FPGA-Based Systems-on-Chip: Architecture and Design Methodology
  • Hardware–Software Co-Design
  • Reconfigurable Instrumentation
  • Fundamentals of Applied Machine Learning
  • Model Optimization and Compression (Quantization, Pruning, Distillation)
  • Heterogeneous Computing
  • Deploying Machine Learning on Heterogeneous Devices

Research abstracts: Applicants are encouraged to submit a brief research abstract on applications of edge intelligence for an oral presentation. A limited number of abstracts will be selected for contributed talks. Please use the ICTP template available for download below.

Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
