Participants will develop a working IIoT prototype, from sensor networks and data acquisition to web-based applications and blockchain-enabled services, using accessible hardware and open-source software.<\/p>\n<p>The programme combines short theoretical introductions with practical laboratory work, mini-projects, and real industrial examples. Participants will work in a small international group and receive guidance from expert mentors throughout the development process.<\/p>\n<p>In the development and integration of key components of the web-based system, we will use the <strong>JavaScript<\/strong> programming language and the <strong>Node.js<\/strong> runtime environment. For educational demonstration purposes, the <strong>Ethereum<\/strong> blockchain platform will be used to implement secure access authorization and simulated transaction workflows.<\/p>\n<p>No previous experience with IIoT, blockchain, JavaScript, or Solidity is required. Basic computer literacy and some familiarity with programming concepts are helpful but not mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer School is an <strong>officially recognized programme<\/strong> of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-1828167 kc_row\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-65157 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-1520271 kc_text_block\">\n<h5><strong>KEY INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h5>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%;\">Dates<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">September 21 \u2013 October 2, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600;\">Location<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600;\">Duration<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">2 weeks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600;\">Target Audience<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">University students, Master&#8217;s and PhD students, beginners, and experienced professionals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600;\">Capacity<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">up to 8 participants<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px; font-weight: 600;\">Approach<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 12px;\">Hands-on, project-based learning with no prior IIoT or blockchain knowledge required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-1828167 kc_row\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-65157 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-1520271 kc_text_block\">\n<h5><strong>WHY ATTEND?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>This Summer School combines industrial automation, IoT, robotics, RFID, and blockchain in a practical project-based format.
