MILMI conceptJoint Master study program in Lasers, Materials science and Interactions between US and EU leading institutions. Double degree and Graduate program toward PhD.
Transatlantic degree project – 2008/2012 (extension until 2013)
Funding: Atlantis programme (US/EU cooperation)US: Department of Education / FISPE EU: Education and culture DG / EACEA

MILMI consortium
4 leading institutions in the field
In Europe:• Université Bordeaux 1 (UB1), Bordeaux – France (Co)• Friedrich-Schiller-Universität (FSU), Jena – Germany
In the USA:• University of Central Florida (UCF), Orlando – Florida (Co)• Clemson University (CU), Clemson – South Carolina

Goals & target group
A research oriented master at the crossroad between• Physics: optics, laser and interaction• Chemistry : material science Goal: Educate and train students for research in this field and open their way to R&D in an international environment (through PhD under cotutelle)Target group: Undergraduate students targeting a R&D career.

Learning outcomesTechnical skills •Mix skills and knowledge at the highest level in Physics and Chemistry, in order to foster research and development.• Ease students evolution in different research environments • Mobility is a good pathway to PhD in cotutelle.
Interpersonal skills•Individual skills in an International landscape•Team working • Sense of responsibility •mastering entrepreneurship attitude.

Structure of MILMIPathway: • 1st year master at home university• 2nd year master transatlantic mobility+ summer school in Europe (1st one in Bordeaux - 2010)
2 study tracks, 3 mobility schemes• Physics: Optics/photonics and lasers• Bordeaux1/University of Central Florida• FSU/University of Central Florida• Chemistry: Materials science for Photonic applications• Clemson University/Bordeaux1

Atlantis funding• Mobility grants / stipend for students 12.000€ for EU students / 12.000$ for US students per year (transatlantic mobility)
• Mobility grants for instructors 1 to 8 weeks mobility to teach or start collaborations
•Administrative support Technical secretariat (on both sides) Consortium meetings and conferences (project’s director
and related meetings) Organization of the summer school Communication… 15/06/2010 11Master MILMI
Next steps• SustainabilityWork on local resources (Clusters and government agencies) and partnerships (Scientific and Industrials) after 2012
• Improve program attractiveness- For advisors in each institution on both side of the Atlantic- For students nationwide though communication
•Work on a fully integrated International graduate school ( Erasmus Mundus II in 2012?)

• Vertically integrated programTargeting Undergraduate students: preparation using Internships abroadNext approach for REU- Research Experience Undergraduate /NSF)
Strong incentive for mobility at PhD level (Cotutelle)
• Strong Links to Technology Transfer
• Collaborative researchSee research activities
