The summer school will therefore be organized in a distributed fashion: participants may join one of the three physical host locations in St-Étienne (France), Waischenfeld (Germany) and St-Gallen (Switzerland), while a shared virtual location will be made available to everyone. All (physical and virtual) locations will be connected via a video stream. This innovative organization scheme ensures all participants have the chance to experience the summer school in the best possible condition for them. In addition, the practical exercises and hackathon programmed during the summer school will take advantage of this distributed organization by accessing industrial assets running at the three host locations. Students will thus participate in the deployment of a truly decentralized network of connected Industry 4.0 systems.</span></div><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
