Objetivos:
The aim of the master’s programme is to provide a high-level multinational research-oriented education in fusion-related engineering physics, in close relation to the research activities of the partners, and with a well-integrated language and cultural experience. The combined and harmonized teaching and research of the 5 universities involved, offers a great variety of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics. The joint European master’s programme offers a genuine European opportunity for master level studies in a field which is of crucial importance to contribute to the solution of the ever more urgent and vital problem of world energy supply. The partners have a long relationship in the framework of the coordinated EURATOM research programme on nuclear fusion. The combined and harmonized teaching and research of the 5 core universities with the research facilities offered by the 7 associated EU and 7 non-EU partners offers a far greater variety of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics than could be provided for by each of the single universities, and therefore guarantees a significant added value for the students in terms of specialisation opportunities. A large number of scientists and engineers will be required in two main categories: “Fusion technology and engineering physics” and “Plasma physics” and their formation typically takes 10 years (operation of the first experimental reactor ITER is scheduled for 2018), requiring a structured European master level education. Furthermore, fusion research shows an increasing and very important spin-off in many fields of science and engineering, such as new materials, nanotechnologies, superconducting coils, robotics, electronic components, high power RF sources, space propulsion, etc. Student mobility is an inherent part of the programme structure and philosophy. The programme structure is combined with a mandatory stay of the student at two universities in two countries (the Spanish universities are considered as one single institution): semesters 1 and 2 at University A; semester 3 and semester 4 (Master thesis) in B. For semesters 3 and 4, the students choose one of the three proposed tracks or specializations. The Master thesis work starts in semester 3 and ends in semester 4. A master thesis supervisor is assigned to each student. By default the promoter is the coordinator of university B. In the beginning of semester 4, a Winter school is organized near the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) research site in Cadarache (France) in which all the second year (M2) students follow for 2 / 3 weeks specialized courses on nuclear fusion and plasma physics. This expands the mobility range de facto to three different host universities or research centres, for most of the students in at least 3 countries. Also, after semesters 2 and 4, a (mandatory) Summer Event is organized in which the tracks and master thesis topics are proposed for the first year (M1) students, and M2 students defend their thesis in front of their fellow students of the first and second Master year (M1&M2) and an international jury composed by all the local coordinators of the Consortium and specialists from the associated partners. Further information can be found in the documents of the Erasmus Mundus Programme approved by the European Commision, and also in the webpage of the master: http://www.em-master-fusion.org/ The page also includes information on mobility scholarships for European Union and third country students.
