What is EURO-DOTS?
EURO-DOTS (European Doctoral Training Support in Micro/Nano-electronics, 257051) is the EC Framework 7 Support Action project 257051, EURO-DOTS, that aims at improving the offering and the quality of training provided to European PhD students. It helps fulfilling the requirements for ECTS credits imposed to PhD students by major European universities for obtaining the Doctoral (PhD) degree in Engineering.
EURO-DOTS started on May 1, 2010 and will last until 30 April 2012.
Objectives of EURO-DOTS
The global objective of EURO-DOTS is to create a delocalized (virtual) platform to serve the Doctoral Schools in Europe in micro/nano-electronics.
A coherent set of advanced courses in micro/nano-electronics, explicitly accredited by major European universities in the framework of their Doctoral Program, will be made easily accessible to European PhD students, offering the opportunity to collect ECTS credits throughout Europe.
The courses will respect specific organization criteria (short, intensive one-week course modules with optional exam) that will make them very flexible, accessible and attractive towards PhD students as well as for high-level continuous education of engineers from industry.
Scholarships will be made available to PhD students fulfilling the selection criteria, for boosting the start-up of the project, while other sources of scholarships and/or industrial support will be explored for the long-term continuation of the project.
