April 5 - 9 2027, Eindhoven — PQC Advances Summer School
Following the PQC fundamentals summer school in Albena 2025, we bring you the PQC advances with more math, more exciting problems, and this time with tutorial sessions. The mornings are filled with talks from experts in post-quantum cryptography, some focusing on the design, some on cryptanalysis, and some on more practical challenges. In the afternoons, you will be able to practice what you've learned by solving some hand-written or coding exercises. Our teching assistants and speakers will help you crack the puzzles little by little and set you on a path for solving bigger research challenges in your future PQC endeavours.
This summer school occurs co-located with Eurocrypt 2027 happening the following week. During the weekend, you can stay with us for the Eurocrypt affiliated events, or enjoy Eindhoven city life or explore the beautiful surroundings.

Travel info
Eindhoven is about 1.5 hours by train from Schiphol (Amsterdam airport), the biggest airport in the Netherlands with good connections to everywhere in the world. The airport has a train station (called Schiphol) and direct trains serve Eindhoven twice per hour during daytime; there are also two rides per hour involving a change in Utrecht. Other airports nearby are Rotterdam The Hague and Maastricht Aachen Airport. Eindhoven Airport is unfortunately closed during this period due to renovations.
Train tickets are available from the yellow ticket machines that can be found in any train station in the Netherlands or via the NS website https://www.ns.nl/en or the NS app (iOS, Android). For international train tickets there is https://www.nsinternational.nl/en and the corresponding app (iOS, Android). The NS International app however does not always have up to date information about eventual changes in the train schedule, so we recommend using a local provider app whenever possible.
Information of how to reach TU/e is available here. The event takes place at the Auditorium building, building 1 (in quadrant B4) on the campus map.
