The recent change of perspective known also as “Space 2.0” will revolutionize the paradigms of satellite and, more in general, aerospace communications. The old role of “sky repeaters” attributed to Space network nodes no longer copes with the emerging requirements of flexibility, global and ubiquitous connectivity already emerged in 5G vision. In such a perspective, the role of Satellite will be reconsidered in the framework of softwarized, reconfigurable and sustainable network infrastructures.

The PhD Summer School Frontier Technologies for “Space 2.0” Communications, organized by Università degli Studi di Trento in collaboration with the Università di Genova and Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata" under the patronage of Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) and the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), aims at offering an overview of most advanced technologies concerning a renewed vision of Space connectivity for the next decades.

The School is addressed to PhD students in the areas of Information and Communication Technologies, Physical Science, Earth and Space Exploration.
The event will be held in English
