📋 Tender Overview
The QUARMEN (QUAntum Research Master Education Network) EMJM aims at training experts in key concepts and technologies for quantum devices and information; more generally, it aims at preparing them for the challenges and opportunities offered by the second quantum revolution, and for the impact it will have on our society and our economy.
Quantum science and technology in one of the fastest progressing fields of knowledge, and structuring research and development in this field is one of Europe’s priorities. In this context, QUARMEN attendees will be ready to develop innovative ideas and will have the opportunity of being directly involved in the activity of industrial and academic laboratories. In the second year, students can choose to further develop their skills in one of the specialized areas: quantum photonics, quantum materials, nanoscience, cryptography, quantum control, cold atoms.
The program is built on the expertise and collaboration of four academic institutions: Paris-Saclay University (France), University of Porto (Portugal), University of Rome – La Sapienza (Italy), and University of Toronto (Canada). The privileged access to companies, academic institutions and research and innovation centres in Europe and North America will offer broad opportunities in terms of job placement and networking. A compulsory winter school focuses on science management and entrepreneurship. The medium of instruction is English but the students are also taught European languages and cultures. Throughout the programme, they are trained to develop critical thinking, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship and risk-taking. The training is completed by an internship in academic or R&D laboratories during the fourth semester.
At the end of the master, students will be awarded a multiple diploma, completed with a joint diploma supplement highlighting the added value of QUARMEN.
