Master MILMI: International Master in Lasers, Materials science and Interactions
Table of contents • MILMI concept • MILMI consortium • Goals & target group • Learning outcomes • Structure of MILMI • Some figures • Atlantis funding and future • Next steps • MILMI: a piece of a larger project • Contacts & information Master MILMI
MILMI concept Joint Master study program in Lasers, Materials science and Interactions between US and EU leading institutions. Double degree and Graduate program toward PhD. • Transatlantic degree project – 2008/2012 • (extension until 2013) Funding: Atlantis programme(US/EU cooperation) US: Department of Education / FISPE EU: Education and culture DG / EACEA Master MILMI
MILMI consortium 4 leading institutions in the field In Europe: • Université Bordeaux 1 (UB1), Bordeaux – France (Co) • Friedrich-Schiller-Universität(FSU), Jena – Germany In the USA: • University of Central Florida (UCF), Orlando – Florida (Co) • Clemson University (CU), Clemson – South Carolina Master MILMI
MILMI consortium (US side) Clemson University, Clemson, Sth Carolina University of Central Florida, Orlando - FL Master MILMI
MILMI consortium (EU side) Friedrich Schiller Universität, Jena - DE Bordeaux1 University, FR Master MILMI
Goals & target group • A research oriented master at the crossroad between • Physics: optics, laser and interaction • Chemistry : material science • Goal: Educate and train students for research in this field and open their way to R&D in an international environment (through PhD under cotutelle) • Target group: Undergraduate students targeting a R&D career. Master MILMI
Learning outcomes • Technical skills • Mix skills and knowledge at the highest level in Physics and Chemistry, in order to foster research and development. • Ease students evolution in different research environments • Mobility is a good pathway to PhD in cotutelle. • Interpersonal skills • Individual skills in an International landscape • Team working • Sense of responsibility • mastering entrepreneurship attitude. Master MILMI
Structure of MILMI Pathway: • 1st year master at home university • 2nd year master transatlantic mobility • + summer school in Europe (1st one in Bordeaux - 2010) 2 study tracks, 3 mobility schemes • Physics: Optics/photonics and lasers • Bordeaux1/University of Central Florida • FSU/University of Central Florida • Chemistry: Materials science for Photonic applications • Clemson University/Bordeaux1 Double Degree Master MILMI
Some figures Master MILMI
Atlantisfunding • Mobility grants / stipend for students • 12.000€ for EU students / 12.000$ for US students • per year (transatlantic mobility) • Mobility grants for instructors • 1 to 8 weeks mobility to teach or start collaborations • Administrative support • Technical secretariat (on both sides) • Consortium meetings and conferences (project’s director and related meetings) • Organization of the summer school • Communication… Master MILMI
Nextsteps • Sustainability • Work on local resources (Clusters and government agencies) and partnerships (Scientific and Industrials) after 2012 • Improve program attractiveness • - For advisors in each institution on both side of the Atlantic • - For students nationwide though communication • Work on a fully integrated International graduate school ( Erasmus Mundus II in 2012?) Master MILMI
MILMI : a piece of a bigger project • Vertically integrated program • Targeting Undergraduate students: preparation using Internships abroad • Next approach for REU- Research Experience Undergraduate /NSF) • Strong incentive for mobility at PhD level (Cotutelle) • Strong Links to Technology Transfer • Collaborative research • See research activities Expliquer que MILMI : brique d’aures projets (graduateschool: continuum entre echangesetudiants L et doctorants, projet de labo commun, etc…) • LS?
