Overview
The Joint Doctoral Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments offers PhD candidates an education programme in the field of research related to computer science, electronic and telecommunication engineering and industrial design. Candidates must hold a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree or equivalent title and in-depth knowledge and understanding of the principles of ICT engineering. ICE aims at developing and enhancing master students’ knowledge and skills in order to shape a new generation of professionals able to exploit (and further enhance) cutting-edge ICT technologies to design and implement - in multi-disciplinary work teams - innovative solutions in the ever more pervasive fields of application.
The programme has three major focuses, that will be iteratively pursued during the whole progress of the candidate’s track. The former concerns the acquisition and the formalization of knowledge in specific advanced domains, achieved through lectures and seminars. The second aims at keeping PhD students in strict touch with leading research groups that have proven experiences in research activities in basic disciplines necessary for the PhD course in the five partner universities. The latter involves actual industry/academy joint research activities on projects in cooperation with leading ICT companies, typically under international institutional umbrellas, such as the European Research Frameworks.
The Programme lasts three years. During this period a mobility scheme ensures that students will spend training / research periods in at least two different higher education institutions.
The language of instruction is English. Local language learning and integration in the society will be promoted through ad-hoc courses and university staff support.
Partner Universities
The ICE consortium is composed of five universities corresponding to excellence not only in different but complementary fields related to interactive and cognitive environments research area but also in promotion and development of international cooperation actions aiming at improving quality of educational offer at European and extra-European level.
- Università degli Studi di Genova – UNIGE
- Technische Universiteit Eindhoven – TU/e
- Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya – UPC
- Universitaet Klagenfurt – UNI-KLU
- Queen Mary, University of London – QMUL
The Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt is one of the five partner institutions in this joint program. Our primary role is the provide course, conduct lab and project works as well as supervise thesis work for the international students participating in this project. We expect that many courses of our established international program on “Information Technology” fits well into this Erasmus Mundus program. We further support thesis work to be carried out in collaboration with industrial or other academic partners.
ICE PhD Erasmus Mundus Grants
A Doctoral Agreement will be signed with Erasmus Mundus granted Students in which monthly payments are specified (12 installments of € 2.800 each as employment contract and of € 600 as fixed contribution for laboratory-based course) together with the lump sum (€ 7.500) for traveling expenses (only to Category A students).
Participation will be opened also to Non-granted students (some additional places will be available).
Deadline: The call for application is planned to open around end of November/first days of December 2009 and will close 15th March 2010.
The starting date of the PhD Course for all selected applicants is expected from September 2010 to March 2011 most probably around January 2011.
