The Test Spring School (TSS) is the main international event where Ph.D. and M.Sc. students can learn about the leading-edge semiconductor test technology. It is organized in conjunction with ETS, taking place during the three days prior to the kick-off of ETS. Traditionally, renowned experts from academia and industry guarantee an exciting technical program introducing into the challenges of dependability, test and diagnosis. TSS will be a fully in-person event this year (no hybrid). As in previous years, TSS will give the students the opportunity to earn credits and a certificate by passing an online exam. To maintain the typical TSS atmosphere and support interaction during the event, the number of participants is strictly limited to 30 on a first-come first-serve basis. TSS also welcomes participation of academic and industrial professionals at a higher registration rate.


The overall theme of this year is Hardware Security and it will treat topics such as security primitives and trust, design and implementation of cryptographic algorithms, circuit and system level security assessment. The TSS program consists of 6 half-day lectures of 4 hours each and a rich social activities program. 4 lectures will take place in the weekend before ETS from May 17th to May 19st at the TSS venue and 2 lectures will take in place in parallel on the afternoon of May 20nd and are open to all ETS attendees.
