The European Union offers Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for the Master of Science in Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering(FAME+) in the 2023/24 academic session. This is also called the Erasmus Mundus Scholarships in Materials Engineering
The Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering Master Program: FAME+ is an international master program, which gathers leading universities and scientists in Europe, sharing the latest developments in Materials Sciences.
The fast evolution of the field of Nanomaterials and Functional Materials Sciences requires a strong consortium with a recognised educational experience in the field, close links between education and research, and awareness of industrial evolutions. These needs are met in the FAME+ master programme by the integration of academic excellence of the partners, of their involvement into advanced research networks, and of their links to key industrial players in the field.
Awareness to the industrial world is strengthened in this new FAME+ version by a series of mechanisms including, but not limited to, internships, the participation of industrial players to the higher skill formation, possible master theses led in companies.
The FAME+ master is also innovative in terms of pedagogy and implements different mechanisms for integration at both the social and study levels. These activities ensure the cohesion of the entire FAME+ cohort and the integration of the students in a vibrant community of future professionals.
