ESoA: European School of Antennas |
|
|
The European School of Antennas (ESoA), created in the framework of ACE, is a post graduate school based on a new geographically distributed model.
ESoA terminated its 4th year of activity, and its success has been widely documented. ESoA will be financed by the European Union till the end of 2009 in the framework of a FP6 Marie Curie Action Project (MCA-SCF 0446042).
It is intention of many of the partners to prolong the ESoA initiative beyond the term of the Marie Curie Action; to this end the 24 institutions in below reported figure have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for ESoA that will protract till the end of 2010. The general objectives of the School are:
-
reinforcing the European excellence in antennas and relevant applications;
-
creating an effective advanced formative offer at international level to complete individual PhD curricula;
-
increasing the ties in wireless research and development between Universities and Industries on a European scale;
-
facilitating the interchange of ideas among early stage researchers and trainers as well as among young researchers, thus increasing the future mobility and synergy.
The 25 ESoA courses are distributed in the most accredited European research centres on antennas and wireless systems.
ESoA presently includes 24 research institutions (mainly Universities) from 12 different European countries and more than 150 teachers.
