  1. Graduate education,Research and Funding Hans Hansson • Graduate Education • Funding IDt@MdH

  2. Graduate education • Courses • Thesis • Departmental duties • Licentiate degree • 2.5 yrs (30p courses, 50p thesis) • PhD • 5 yrs (60p courses, 100p thesis) • Lic + 30p courses + 50p thesis “Doktorandtjänst”

  3. PhD (+2,5yrs) = to industry Undergraduate andgraduate education 8 • Computer Sci. • Mathematics • Programming • Theory • Craft • Computer Eng. • Mathematics • Electronics • Comp. Systems • Software • Hardware 6 lic-school (+2,5 yrs) 5 4 MSc (+1yr) Comp.Sci. Comp.Eng. Real-Time Systems 3 BSc/ Eng.degree (3 yrs) • Comp.Sci. (60 stud/yr) • Comp.Eng. (75 stud/yr)

  4. The PhD student in focus Recruitment (Leading in RT; Industry coop; Int’l contacts) Int’l network >3 months abroad • Study-plan • SotA • Publication plans • “Thesis proposal” Admittance • Nat’l network • ARTEScourses; meetings • Co-op projects • Uppsala; KTH; CTH Courses (99/00) Teoretiska grunder för realtidssystem, 5p; Datavetenskaplig metodik, 5p; Säkerhets och tillförlitlighetsteori, 5p; Systemarkitektur och simulering, 5p; Feltoleranta realtidssystem, 3p; Realtidsmodellering och analys, 5p; Optimering (IMa); Teoretisk datalogi (KimE/Ima), Reglerteknik (IEl); Kurser i Uppsala, Stockholm, Linköping; ARTES; Övriga D-nivåkurser. • Industrial co-operation • MRTC ABB, Ericsson, Volvo, ... 60p courses 100p thesis • Supervisory team • de facto supervisor • main supervisor • external supervisor Co-operation Project; group; lab Seminars; Visitors; External mentors Dissertation

  5. Admittance of Graduate Students • “Allmän behörighet” (basic requirement): 120p • “Särskild behörighet” (specific requirement): • 80p courses relevant for Computer Systems • I.e. kandidatexamen (B.Sc.) or magisterexamen(M.Sc.) in Computer Engineering or Science is sufficient • Alternatively:“Corresponding qualifications”

  6. Subject areas (Forskarutbildningsämne) • Graduate education (and research) is organised in subject areas • e.g., Computer Engineering; Computer Science • Formal rights granted by the government(University or Science Area) • MdH has Science Area Engineering (Medicine; Science; Hum/Soc..) • For each subject area: one (or more) chair (ämnesföreträdare) • Prof responsible for subject area • Examiner

  7. Admittance and supervision • The faculty board has formal responsibility • The faculty board decides who can be supervisor • “main supervisor” - should be qualified researcher (docent) • “assistant supervisor” • PhD • often the actual supervisor

  8. Individual study plan • Required for admittancesubmitted together with undergrad exam and application • Rough plan from admittance to dissertation • Courses (name, time, points) • Thesis (titel and time) • Supervisors (type, title, and name) • Is a plan! • Revised annually

  9. Supervisor Intro to research area Contacts and refs problem formul. financing co-author Student Coursework Study od research area problem formul. experiments/prototypes co-author H D tid Responsibilities: Grad Student - Supervisor(there is no general rule) • “Goal”: The student should become more competent than the supervisor in the specific area of study

  10. Undergraduate exam Graduate education => Lic and/or PhD PostDoc. Lecturer (Teacher/Researcher) Docent Professor Professor emeritus The academic Career

  11. Research Funding Commercialisation Prod.development Teknikbrostiftelsen Nutek Applicability KK-stiftelsen Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning Science Res council (forskningsråd) (e.g. VR) Univ. funding (Fakultetsanslag) Basic Research Applied Research Prod.Development Efter en bild av Mia Lindegren

  12. MRTCs budget (MSEK)[$1=8 SEK; 1 ecu=9 SEK] 29MSEK 16MSEK 2003 1999 MRTC staff and budget • 1 Research Fellow • Sasi Punnekkat • 7 Senior Lecturers (Associate Professors) • 15 lecturers • 20 graduate students(5 employed by industry) • 6 Tech./Adm. • Staff (May ‘99) • 2 Full Professors • Hans Hansson • Björn Lisper • 1 Assistant prof. • Lennart Lindh • 1 Visiting prof. • Wang Yi

  13. Teknikbrostiftelsen • Stöd till samverkan mellan universitet/högskola och näringsliv, speciellt de små- och medelstora företagen. • Kommersialisering av högskolans kunskap och kompetens. • Stöd i tidig fas: stipendier, bidrag, lån och såddkapital. • Stöd som förbereder fortsatt finansiering genom andra. • Exempel: • RealFast och ZealCore

  14. Närings och Teknikutvecklingsverket är Sveriges centrala myndighet för frågor som rör näringslivets utveckling. NUTEK stödjer samarbete mellan företag, högskolor och institut, samt internationell samverkan, framför allt inom ramen för EU:s forskningsprogram. • Aktuella satsningar • kompetenscentra (t.ex. ASTEC) • Industriforskningsinstitut (t.ex. SICS) • Specifika forskningsprogram • komplexa tekniska system • telekommunikation

  15. The “new” research foundations • “Meidnerska löntagarfonder” Supports science, engineering and medicine. Development of strong research groups on highest international level, with importance for development of Sweden. - Local Programs (CAS at KTH) - Nationel networks (ARTES) Aims at increasing competence to facilitate economic growth. Supports e.g.: - Schools - “New univ.” (MRTC) - Education of SME’s in Embedded Systems

  16. TeknikvetenskapligaForskningsrådet Främjar och stödjer högkvalitativ grundforskning inom teknikområdet. Ansvaret spänner över ett brett fält alltifrån teknisk mekanik via datalogi till bioteknik. EU/FoU-rådets uppgift är att samordna det svenska deltagandet i EUs ramprogram för forskning och utveckling.

  17. News from 2001 • Old research councils and “Nutek” terminated • Instead: • “Vetenskapsrådet” (FRN+HSFR+MFR+NFR+TFR)Three areas: • Humanities and Social Science • Medicine • Science and engineering • “Forskningsrådet för sociala frågor och arbetsliv” • “Forskningsrådet för miljö, lantbruk och samhällsplanering” • “Verket för Innovationssystem” (VINNOVA) (=Nutek+Kommunikationsforskningsberedningen+Arbetslivsforskning)

  18. “Private” research foundations • Knut och Alice Wallenbergs stiftelse • Volvo Research Foundation • ...

  19. How to write an application? • Project name • Applicants: “established” researcher + (possibly) junior researcher • Abstract (Most people will read only this+budget ;-) • Background: Why is this a good project? • Problem formulation: Which specific problem is considered? • Expected results and impact • Related Work (SotA) • Partners (academic and/or industrial) • Project plan: What should be done when? • Budget: (staff, equipment, travel, overhead)? • App1: The environment: presentation of research group • App2: Curriculum Vitae for applicants Specific instructions on how to write the application is often provided

  20. How are applications evaluated?(it varies!) • Previous results • you should have a good reputation • Relation to purpose of the call • Main idea • Relation to state-of-the-art • Co-operation • The plan: methodology and realism Is the idea interesting and sound? Will the applicants succeed?
