The programme includes three complementary thematic blocks:
• Fundamentals of Biometric Systems,
• Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence,
• Artificial Intelligence in Biometrics.

The Summer School is open to foreign students (30 places) and doctoral students (15 places) enrolled in technical degree programmes related to computer science, electronics, physics, or mathematics. Applicants are expected to have basic programming skills in Python, which will be verified through a qualifying test during the recruitment process.

Participants must also demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English to fully engage in lectures, workshops, discussions, and independent work with teaching materials and software tools.
