Events
Distinguished lecture series
In this lecture series, speakers from around the world will share their views on advanced topics in embedded systems design with the EMECS students. They will provide insights on the academic and industrial landscape of this field in their home countries. For EMECS students who are interested in pursuing a career in those countries, the invited scholars can also be valuable contact points.
The speakers come from both industry and academia. Some lectures are organized as single talks embedded in an existing course, other lectures are setup as additional courses for earning ECTS credits within the elective program.

EMECS-thon
EMECS-thon is an embedded systems marathon that is organized by EMECS students. Participating teams have 48 hours to develop an embedded system project from scratch. The event is carried out simultaneously in the universities of the EMECS consortium as well as several other universities each year.
Participating teams consist of up to three students. Each team has the flexibility to choose a project topic of their own interest. The event takes place in the fully equipped laboratories of each university. In order to allow the participants to devote the maximum amount of time possible to their projects all meals are provided.
