The 2018 summer school program was composed of 36 lectures of 45 mn. Courses included general and specific considerations about superconducting electronics :
- flux quantization, Meissner effect, proximity effect, etc.
- properties of low- and high- temperature superconductors
- physics and properties of Josephson junctions (SIS, SNS, SNIS, SINIS, SFS, SFIS, etc.)
