European Master For Industry in Microwave Electronics and Photonics

ongoing

EMIMEP is an integrated learning programme centred on microwave engineering and photonic technologies preparing a new generation of engineers for the next decade of sustainable technological solutions. EMIMEP is based on excellence and it is a concrete solution to the increasing demand for highly qualified talents to foster academic and industrial innovation. Areas covered range from the fundamentals of microwave electronics and photonics to their implementations with new technologies, combining analogue electronics, lasers, classical and quantum engineering, nano-photonics, energy harvesting and antennas. The partners are: University of Limoges (FR), University of Brescia (IT), University of the Basque Country (SP) and Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena (DE). EMIMEP also includes 5 academic associated partners. A panel of 49 Associated Partners, including companies, research laboratories and associations, will support the EMIMEP programme and will constitute an effective network for Master’s theses and future career development. The first 3 semesters are based on lectures and lab sessions, while the last one is based on independent work related to the Master thesis. The first-year programme combines a first placement period in France and then in Italy with a Research and Industrial Week in Romania. Students in the second year will enhance their learning around one of the four paths available at the 3rd semester: towards greener power management in electronics and photonics in Limoges, Technologies for High-Frequency applications in Bilbao, Communication Technologies in Brescia, Optics Photonics and Quantum Technologies in Jena. After a Summer School in Catania (IT) and an active participation to the European MicroWave Week Conference, at the end of the master, the students are awarded a joint diploma. EMIMEP graduated students can be recruited directly by companies or pursue a PhD programme in universities, research institutes or industrial doctorates.
