[Tccc] Joint PhD call for applicants - Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments (EMJD-ICE) offers PhD candidates an education programme
in the field of research related to computer science, electronic and telecommunication engineering and industrial design.

Partner universities in the EMJD-ICE programme are:

Università degli Studi di Genova � UNIGE (Italy)
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven � TU/e (the Netherlands)
Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya� UPC (Spain)
Universitaet Klagenfurt � UNI�KLU (Austria)
Queen Mary, University of London � QMUL (UK)

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.

Call for application for the 1st cycle is online (www.icephd.org<http://www.icephd.org/> ) now.
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.

Deadlines for the application are:

- 15 February 2010 for EMJD granted places
- 25 September 2010 for non-EMJD granted places
