Course materials (registered participants only)

This course takes an Agile sprint approach where teams from participating NCAs encompassing different areas of competence come together to work on specific issues and technical solutions (e.g., IT, Business/Law Unit and SupTech division, in line with the NCAs organisational structure). Participants work intensively in cross-functional teams to create innovative solutions, often focusing on problem-solving and/or prototyping.
Before the prototype phase, the course will cover advanced theoretical lectures and presentations on use cases in other SupTech projects. The goal is to encourage creativity, teamwork, and the development of functional prototypes, with opportunities for learning, networking and celebrating failures and successes. This training week is specifically designed for participants actively designing SupTech application proofof-concepts or possessing robust coding experience. The program aims to advance both the theoretical understanding and practical skills of participants in SupTech.

Logistics

The foundational training weeks will be held at the FBF, within the premises of the EUI (Florence, Italy).
Each course will start on a Monday at 9 am and will end on a Thursday, approximately at lunch time.
FBF will reimburse travel in economy class (up to 450 euros) and accommodation for the duration of the course (up to 4 nights and up to a given ceiling), local public transportation and taxi expenses up to 100 €. Lunches, coffee breaks and a social dinner/activity, as indicated in the programme of every training week will be directly covered by FBF.
Accommodation expenses will be reimbursed to participants after the event according to the following ceiling: up to EUR 200 per night (city tax included), for a maximum of 4 nights
Training participants are responsible for booking both their flight and their accommodation in Florence. These expenses will be reimbursed after the end of the event upon the upload of the travel documentation and the relevant invoices (including boarding passes) to the online EUI reimbursement application (link and instructions will be duly shared with participants after the end of the event).
A list of conveniently located hotels will be provided to participants, but they are of course free to book hotels other than the ones suggested. In both cases, participants will be reimbursed up to the agreed ceiling and for single occupancy.
If participants book a hotel and share a double room, they must ask for the single room rate to be indicated on the hotel bill. Failing this, 25% of the price of the double room will be deducted from their reimbursement.
Participants can book their accommodation also on Airbnb, but in case they share the apartment with other people, the reimbursement will be divided by the number of guests.
A private transportation service will connect participants from/to Piazza dell’Indipendenza to/from the training venue every day. A detailed timetable will be provided before the starting of each training week.
