Education and training

Since 1992, CiA offers CAN-related seminars. They cover CAN physical layer options, the three CAN data link layer generations (Classical CAN, CAN FD, and CAN XL), and several higher-layer protocol approaches (especially for CANopen and CANopen FD). CiA provides also customized in-house seminars. CiA seminars are characterized by the fact that they are device- and manufacturer-related. CiA engineers, who lead through the seminars, have long experience in teaching CAN technology.

CiA schedules also free-of-charge webinars, which provide in one hour an overview on different topics. They address decision makers and those, who just like to get a brief introduction in a topic. These webinars do not provide technical details.

CiA also offers free-of-charge CiA technology days. They are one-day in-person events or online events. They provide more detailed information about new CiA technical developments. Last but not least, there is the opportunity to book an in-house seminar. They can take place in the customer’s facility, in the CiA office, or online.

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that, connected with advances in science.

Isaac Newton (1642–1727), mathematician
