Importance of Large Scale Facilities
Large Scale Facilities (neutron and
synchrotron sources) are giant
microscopes to explore matter
website: http://mamaself.univ-rennes1.fr
High technological impact for:
Fundamental
research
Applied
research
Administrative organisation
Getting operated:
• Steering committee
• Selection committee
• Educational board
• Welcome organisation etc:
– Arrival, housing, visa, bank account, health insurance, integration activities
• Networking and collaboration/implication of academic and industrial partners

Fostering scientific, teaching and administrative activities by commonly
organized meetings:
Some remarks on theannually organized MaMaSELF Status-meeting
May2008, 2009, 2010:
Brainstorming at1700 m altitude in the Swissmountains…
July 2010ZEN meditationaround Kyoto
All financial support given under Action 3 is used for:
Status-Meetings at 3rd country partner institutions

Organisation of:3 MaMaSELF Status-Meetings
May 2008 , 2009, 2010: Switzerland (Rigi Kulm)
July 2010 : Materials Science Meeting in Kyoto
• Promotion of science• Presentation of Master thesis projects• Scientific presentations• Quality assurance• Industrial projects• Cultural exchange• common diploma• enhancing visibility of European
higher educationand …• Presentation of PhD thesis projects
With the participation of (totally 50 participants):• all MaMaSELF master thesis students,• academics (consortium, industrial partners incl. LCFs),• old and new 3rd country partners

Where do we want to go with our partners?
Offering a unique learning experience for our students
Towards long-lasting scientific collaborations and cultural exchange in a network of excellence (NoE)
Help to manage our EMMC (recruitment, supervison of students, QA)
Towards common curricula/diploma with Japan, India and Switzerland
Common master-thesis and PhD thesis projects with international research centres and industry

How to reach this goal?1st: Scientifically strong partners 2nd: operating personal relations and permanent engagement
Minimum condition to be credible:You need excellent students and excellent projects!!!!

Fostering the EMMC: scientific interference of
3rd country partners, research centres and industry
common scientific interests:
- common application for funding for scientific projects
- common master thesis projects
- common thesis projects
- financing common thesis projects

1st example: INDIA (IIT Madras)
- 3rd ranked institute (national level)
- long lasting relations with IIT staff and long experience in students exchange
- India wants to renew totally their neutron and synchrotron park (need: scientific infrastructure)
Excellent conditions for collaborations:MoU agreed and signed in 2009 Common diploma from 2010 on

Strong impact for students’ recruitment, course promotion and master thesis supervision:
Local EMMC promotion via flyers and personal communication by Indian professors
Implication of Indian professors in the students’ selection is mandatory for a high quality non-EU students recruitment
Common master thesis supervision of EU and non-EU students reinforces common scientific (and administrative) activities, and effectively anticipates to avoid problems with the master thesis organisation

2nd example: Japan (Kyoto and Yamanashi University)
- scientific excellence
- long lasting relations with staff
- obtained funding for common scientific projects to foster relations between partner institutions
- MoU signed between Japanese and EU institutions
- long tradition in students’ exchange (> 40 EU students to Japan, 10 EM students in 3 years)

EM1: 2007-2010
EM2: 2010-2013
But : Exclusively European Master Students go to Japan (essentially for the Master thesis project)no Japanese Master Students participate in our EMMC
Main obstacle:Japanese Master Students need a Japanese Diploma to enter industry etc....
Huge administrative task:Common diploma with Japanese Universities

3rd example: ETH-Zürich (joint venture with PSI)
- PSI is running neutron and synchrotron facilities
- scientific excellence
- long lasting relations with staff
- PSI regularly takes ca. 5 EM students for master thesis AND PhD thesis projects (also in future)

EM2 framework implies new opportunities:
via the EM Joint Doctorate Programmevia the implication of 3rd country partners as full partners

EM reputation as a brand worldwide:
EM stands today for European excellence in the field of higher education not only in Japan and in India
EM is an important brand helping to approach towards common curricula between EU and non-EU institutions
Special problems encountered:
Future developpment of EMMC:
• Develop an international network of excellence as a platform of teaching/research/R&D between university, research centres and industry
• Attractive also for students without EM grant
• Towards common diploma (multiple or joint)
Opportunities given under the EM2 framework should significantly help to overcome these difficulties
