About this project

This project is finished. In the years 2002 to 2005 about 7600 participants from all European countries and many countries outside Europe participated in about 300 actions and events: courses, tutorials, seminars, summer schools, series of lectures etc. The main topic was microelectronic and microsystem design, systems on chip etc. Numerous actions were also addressed to young people from primary and secondary schools. These actions aimed at raising interest not only to electronics and information technologies, but to science and technology in general.

The project is over, but this Web site will not be closed. You will be able to find here some of the outcomes of the project: lecture notes, tutorial handouts etc. Feel free to download them and use in your training activities, but please do not forget to mention the authors and support of this project.

You will also be able to find here information about various training actions: courses, seminars, summer schools organized by former partners of this project. In December 2007 a new educational project IDESA starts. To learn what is IDESA, click the "News" button.

The project consortium included 22 partners: 16 from EU member states (including 11 partners from new member states in Central Europe), 2 from EU candidate countries and 4 from the former Soviet Union. Many actions were prepared by joint teams of co-operating researchers and academic teachers from EU partner institutions and from Central/Eastern Europe or from several CEE institutions. Prominent scientists from institutions not participating in this project were involved as well. This allowed to exploit knowledge and competencies of the partners from all parts of Europe and to share their experiences. The project was coordinated by Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland.
