Introduction

Ferrol Industrial Campus (CIF) is part of the University of A Coruña (Spain) and it is the first specialization campus accredited by the regional government. Located in the city of Ferrol, an international benchmark in shipbuilding with the most modern shipyards in Europe, the Ferrol Industrial Campus is growing in a city marked by its industrial character, which represents an opportunity for collaboration with driving companies in strategic industrial sectors such as the naval, maritime, logistics, industrial, metal-mechanical, textile and automotive sectors, among others. 

As part of our internationalisation strategy, we are organising an International Summer School on Smart Industry and Advanced Manufacturing, our key specialisation areas. This ISS has been designed for university students and recent graduates as well as researchers and professors willing to upgrade their skills. Located in Ferrol, all programs are offered in English, with an academic value of 3 ECTS credits and will have a length of one week (either from 17th to 21st July 2023 or from 24th to 28th July 2023).
