European Masters Education in Integrated Advanced Ship Design

The objective of the EMSHIP Erasmus Mundus Master is to provide a high education in Naval Architecture and Ship Design, through a 1.5 year – 90 Credits – Master Course accessible as Post Graduate studies, leading to a Double Master Degree from ULG-Liege, Belgium and ECN-Nantes, France) and a supplement diploma from Germany (Rostock), Italy (Genoa), Poland (Szczecin) or Romania (Galate).

EMSHIP corresponds directly to the needs of the European and Worldwide Marine Industry. The targeted candidates are:

*Candidates having already a master degree in another engineering field that would like to get a specialisation in Ship Design.
*Active engineering officers with 3-5 years seafaring work experience, that are looking for new knowledge to better fulfil their carrier objectives. There is indeed a large demand from ship-owners and port authorities to hire such officers, knowing what on-board service is, to manage and maintain their fleet.
*Candidates looking for complementary education in the Sailing Pleasure Crafts and Mega/Motor Yachts, but also in Safer and Cleaner Marine and Fluvial Transportation Mode.
*Engineers searching for advanced education in Hydrodynamics in Ship Design, Ship Production, CAD, Information Technology and Ship Structures.

EMSHIP gives the opportunity to candidates to demonstrate their talents and offer them the necessary skills to work in this challenging industry.
The mobility scheme includes 3 semesters in 3 different countries and cultures

Scholarship Application Deadline:31th January 2011 for EU, Balkans, and Turkey students.

EUROPHOTONICS Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Program 2011: Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics

The Joint Doctorate Program on Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics is dedicated to address recent challenges of one of the most expanding fields in physics and material sciences. This doctorate program is based on a consortium of excellence research institutes and universities in the field : Paul Cézanne Aix Marseille III University / Institut Fresnel (France), Universität Karlsruhe (TH) / Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics (Germany), Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, ICFO (Insitut de Ciences Fotoniques) (Spain), and Universita degli Studi di Firenze / LENS (European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy) (Italy). The goal of the program is to involve doctorate students in cutting-edge research projects profiting from the complementarity between the five partners, and from a wide range of research training and teaching plans that includes fundamental and general sciences, technology, languages and communication, research and industrial management, technology transfer, career exploratory support, international meetings, workshops and conference participation. Several key issues will be implemented to bring to the students a complete and valuable training : co-supervision, exchanges within the local and the international research environment, training in working methods in technical, scientific and management issues, communication and regular scientific presentations at local and international scales.
This program is dedicated to students with a masters in Physics, Engineering, Optics and Photonics, Biology, Biotechnologies, Nanosciences, selected based on their scientific level and the identified project proposed within the consortium. The students will work under a co-tutelle supervision in at least two collaborative laboratories among the partners. At least one semester will be spent in each of the co-supervising institutions. The students will have to demonstrate excellent research and follow two weeks of training units per semester to obtain a doctorate multiple diploma after their thesis defense.
The doctorate projects will focus on advanced research in Photonics and interdisciplinary applications. PhD students will then be able to pursue a career on today’s new challenges in either academic or applied research :

monitoring and controlling matter and optical phenomena at the ultimate nanometric scale,
providing new imaging tools for fundamental understanding of biological processes and clinical applications,
bringing original tools in line with future optical devices.
