The Dynamo project (Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Modulation of Light by Phononic Architectures), coordinated by the Universitat Jaume I, held its summer school in Benicàssim. This event, funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Horizon Europe Pathfinder call, brought together approximately 45 doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and specialists from renowned global institutions.

Over two days, the Summer School combined prestigious lectures, networking sessions, collaborative workshops, visits to the UJI laboratories, and a poster session where attendees presented their research. The opening day was led by Daniel Torrent, principal investigator of the Dynamo project, followed by talks from Daniel A. Kiefer (Institut Langevin, France), Shulamit Edelstein (Institute of Materials Science of Madrid, CSIC), and Adam Kupryjanow (Intel Technologies Poland).

The presentations focused on wave propagation in advanced materials, new forms of computation based on complex physical systems, and low-power artificial intelligence technologies for real-time applications. The second day featured contributions from Yabin Jin (Fudan University, China), Xin Zhou (Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology, France), Sebastian Reparaz (Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, CSIC), and Motonobu Tomoda (Oita University, Japan).

Discussions covered the study and control of waves, vibrations, and energy transport in advanced materials, presenting advancements with potential applications in quantum technologies, new computing systems, thermal management of devices, and material characterization techniques using high-precision acoustic pulses.

A notable initiative was the 'Research Flash Session,' where students from UJI, UV, and UPV presented their research in five-minute slots, fostering interdisciplinary exchange.
