  12. Summer school 2007 – in preparation Advanced optical communicationssystems: fromshort range to long haul networks ENST Bretagne, Brest, France, July 16-19, 2007 http://conferences.enst-retagne.fr/ephotonone/

  13. Common Master - Assumptions • No. of courses – 8 (5 or 6 ECTS per course) • Acceptance of ECTS credits is up to local rules. • Teaching materials are available on the web site of the project (nowadays on the private part) • The goal until the end the project – open access on the project web site – “soft“ protection according to Creative Commons Public License (CCPL) • Applications of Common Master outcomes are encouraged through mobility of teaching materials, lecturers, students and tele-teaching) • Support to initiatives for institutional Master

  14. Common Master - Courses • Introduction to optical networks - Light propagation 1st coordinator: Michel Morvan, 2nd coordinator: Marc Wuilpart • Optical Technologies and Components1st coordinator: Antonio Teixeira, 2nd coordinator: Kevin Heggarty • Optical Core Networks1st coordinator: Piero Castoldi, 2nd coordinator: Josep Solé Pareta • Optical Access and Metro Networks1st coordinator: Achille Pattavina • Photonics in Switching1st coordinator: Lena Wosinska, 2nd coordinator: Carla Rafaeli • Optical Network Resilience1st coordinator: Luca Valcarenghi, 2nd coordinator: Branko Mikac • Optical transmission1st coordinator: Véronique Moeyaert, 2nd coordinator: Michel Morvan • Spin-off applications of optical telecommunications technology1st coordinator: Kevin Heggarty, 2nd coordinator: Carmen Vazquez

  15. Role and Contribution of Partners • 15 contributors to syllabuses • 54 authors of teaching materials • 15 partners • 3514 lesson slides collected • 23.43 ECTS (2.93 per course) (1 ECTS = 150 slides) • 177 pages - practical class materials • There are numbers of reported and non-reported applications of Common Master

  17. Common approach achieved • In organization of 1st summer schools by • teaching (4 partners) and • sending students – 19 partners) • In preparing Common Master • curriculum -15 partners • teaching materials -15 partners

  18. External relations • Involvement of teachers for summer school outside e-Photon/ONe+ (25%) • Involvement of participants for summer schools outside e-Photon/ONe (20%)

  19. Resources employed: Effort 48% Permanent staff (AC): 4 m/m

  20. Resources employed: Budget 63%

  21. Scientific and Technical Impact • By coordinated work of experts within NoE in preparing Common Master curriculum and creating teaching materials synergic effect was achieved in improving education in area of optical communications and networks for e-Photon/ONe+ partners and others.

  22. Durable Integration • The results of integration in educational area are used and can be used even more in the future within existing NoE and afterward within of any bilateral or multilateral group of educational institutions. • Specific educational programmes and teaching materials are proposed and prepared by experts in subareas of optical communications and networks. The interest of teaching materials’ authors is to disseminate their accumulated knowledge and the interests of users are to improve their own education by using high quality sources of expert knowledge.

  23. Final Comments and Future Plans • Educational goal of the project in organizing summer school was completed. • On the basis of Common Master curriculum large amount of teaching materials was prepared by involving experts from different areas within NoE. • Further work until the end of project will be focused on improvement of teaching material contents and their preparation for open access.
