Overview
EMIMEP offers a programme centred on microwave engineering and photonic technologies which ensures that students acquire advanced and cross-disciplinary expertise.
Details
What's new in EMIMEP (formerly EMIMEO)?
The European Master for Industry in Microwave Electronics and Photonics is the new project funded by the European Union for the period going from 01.09.2023 to 31.10.2029. The project has been granted by the European Commission as a Master study program of Excellence.
The new master will bring some new initiatives and activities compared to EMIMEO. Indeed the Program Committee is still going on to increase the quality of the teaching program for the students and strengthen the connection with the Industries and research Institutes.
Among others, EMIMEP Vs EMIMEO is:
- More targeted students with the Erasmus Mundus Scholarships (05 students editions in EMIMEP vs 04 students intakes in EMIMEO)
- More student positions at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (04 or 05 student mobility per year in the second academic year vs 02 in EMIMEO)
- More international associated partners for more job engineers and PhD opportunities for the students after EMIMEP and internships during the master’s studies (16 large enterprises, 11 SMEs, 15 Research Institutes, 2 associations, 1 Youth Associations, 3 Representatives of working life and 2 national bodies)
- More associated partners from academia: 05 in EMIMEP vs 01 in EMIMEO
- More academic integration between the universities: One course taught by the University of the Basque Country at the University of Limoges in the first semester and one course from the University of Jena will be taught in the second semester at the University of Brescia.
- EMIMEP aim to have a joint diploma not only with the University of Limoges, the University of Brescia, the University of the Basque Country but also with the University of Jena)
- Summer School organised in the associated partner institutions for the student at the end of the student academic year.
EMIMEP project is one of these educational projects which will boost the attractiveness of science, technology and engineering
In the context of increasing demand for research and industrial applications around these topics, EMIMEP Masters is a concrete solution to improve the number of highly qualified students.
Electromagnetic waves at microwave or optical frequencies, after emission by circuits or light sources, propagate in free space or in waveguides and are then finally detected. Their high frequencies make them perfect information carriers for high-speed communications, and light-wave based technologies are at the core of the twin transitions required to provide the coming digital decade with sustainable solutions.
The academic subjects will include innovative elements to provide the students with advanced knowledge of the most updated and cutting-edge technologies.
The master’s degree curriculum, besides classical subjects, will include modules on recent advances in bidimensional materials like graphene, meta-surfaces, lasers and frequency combs, quantum technologies, energy harvesting, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and high-energy physics for new biomedical applications. These modules, based on scientific breakthroughs from the last twenty years(some of them awarded the Nobel Prize), exemplify the transformative power of physics on engineering and related industrial applications.
The students will continue to attend Research and Industrial Week in Cluj during the first academic year and the European Microwave Week at the beginning of the second academic year (Paris in 2024, Utrecht in 2025, London in 2026).
Members of the consortium
The University of Limoges (France), the University of Brescia (Italy), the University of the Basque Country (Spain) and the Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena (Germany) have been working together on complementary themes in the fields of microwave electronics and photonics for several years.

Cost/funding for participants
What is included in the ERASMUS MUNDUS scholarship?
EMIMEP is co-funded by the European Union in the frame of the programme called Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters
EMIMEP will offer full Erasmus Mundus scholarships to the best-ranked students worldwide. The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is higher than in EMIMEO. The student will receive 1400 euros each month during the full duration of the programme (max. 24 months). The scholarship will cover the travel, visa cost and the living allowance.
In addition, EMIMEP will provide Health and Travel insurance to the students during the full period of studies.
Finally, EMIMEP will also cover all the tuition fees during the duration of the studies for the students.
The number of EMJM scholarships available for EMIMEP students is different each academic year. The EMIMEP Master offers these EMJM scholarships to students from all over the world. Moreover, EMIMEP will also offer some additional EMJM scholarships to students from certain targeted regions of the world.
Un-save Opportunity
Internships, scholarships, student conferences and competitions.
