1.1 Master Students mobility

10


1.1.1 Master Student Mobility

• Students from Asia to Galway & Trento– 12 students x 10 months x 2

11


1.1.1 Master Student Mobility

• Problems and issues:- Misfit between academic years and project

span - Selection protocol should be defined- Possible misfit in the formal requirement

(recognition of Bachelor, homogeneization of curricula)

- Distance teaching is mentioned but it is not clear how it should be used

12


1.1.2 Definition of Master Curriculum

• Define a reference curriculum for a 2-year Master on Semantic Web

By December 2006:

- Specification of a program

- Definition of the minimum to be compatible with “EASTWEB Blueprint”

- Teaching and examination material for the key-courses

13


1.1.2 Definition of Master Curriculum

• Assets:

Definition of a “Shared Master” on Semantic Web in the framework of KnowledgeWeb

(Trento + Amsterdam + Madrid + Bolzano,

possibly Innsbruck & Galway?)

Experience of Swiss-AIT(VietNam) Master ?

14


1.1.3 Implementation of Graduate Curriculum

Starting from January 2007:

• Definition of mobility/DL scheme

• Implementation of course recognition criteria

15


1.1.3 Double Degree Master

During third year of project:

• Formal pair-wise Double Master degree programs

Students will start the double degree programs only after the end of the program!

16


1.2 PhD Student mobility and joint PhD programme

17


1.2.1 PhD Student Mobility

To do asap:plan mobility

“Co-supervised students will visit the foreign university for at least 6 months and work with the foreign supervisor before graduation.

The foreign supervisor will visit the university of the student at least one during the thesis”

19


1.2.3 Joint PhD programWe promised:

Common admission criteria

Shared selection procedure

At the end students will get double degree

Output:

3) structuring such knowledge with appropriate knowledge management tools

34


2.2.2 Content and KM tools development

providing appropriate tool to the processes of gathering, querying and navigating knowledge.

Tools to be used include: semantic queries, context via ontology, matching of natural language queries into ontological concepts, semantic navigation, guidance via ontology, support to individual views to knowledge and dynamic views to knowledge, visualization of hierarchies, tools to capture users needs and integrates them into application assembly, ontology-based profiling.

PRODUCE Integrated platform to support EASTWEB Knowledge Portal

35


2.2.3 EASTWEB Knowledge PortalEASTWEB Knowledge Portal will contain:– Access to all EASTWEB eLearning material– Updated knowledge map and gap analysis of

Semantic Web research and applications– Digital periodical reports, results, and reviews

of Semantic Web research and applications.
