European Master for Industry in Microwave Electronics and Photonics (EMIMEP)
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: the University of Limoges (FR), the University of Brescia (IT), the University of the Basque Country (SP) and the Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena (DE). EMIMEP also includes
5 academic-associated partners. A panel of more than
50 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 in 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 and an active participation in the
European Microwave Conference, at the end of the master, the students are awarded a
joint diploma.
EMIMEP graduate students can be
recruited directly by companies or pursue a PhD programme in universities, research institutes or industrial doctorates.
Description of the Mobility Scheme
The first placement period is in
France for the first semester and then in
Italy for the second semester. The mobility scheme offers a synergic programme of fundamentals in analogue and nonlinear electronics and photonics. In addition, two courses will be taught, one in the first semester by the academic staff from the University of the Basque Country and a second course in Brescia by the academic staff from the University of Jena.
During the second academic year, the students will move to one of the four partner institutions.
The partners are given the opportunity to the student to intensify their study around one of the four paths and the associated and dedicated lab equipment for the third semester: towards greener power management in electronics and photonics at the University of Limoges, Communication Technologies at the University of Brescia, Technologies for High-Frequency at the University of the Baque Country and Optics Photonics and Quantum Technologies at the University of Jena.
The Master’s thesis (fourth semester) can be carried out in any of the partner institutions or associate partners, under the guidance of a professor from one of the partner universities except for the students who are enrolled at FSUJena (the students who are enrolled at FSU Jena might perform the master’s thesis in Jena and defend their master’s thesis in October at the end of the academic year).
Each student batch is also invited to participate in the
Research and Industrial Week in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), the
European Microwave Week & the
Summer School.
