 Dear all
  

I would like to bring to your attention to the 2012/2013 edition of the NEMPS 
Ph.D. program of University Lusofona (http://nemps.ulusofona.pt). Although the 
first round of applications if over the second round will start in Oct 15th. 
Nevertheless, I would suggest you to submit your application as soon as 
possible.

This is a 3 year Ph.D program with a curricular year focus on research, with 2 
research oriented courses, 2 mandatory courses and 3 optional courses. The 
major goal is to have the students fully enrolled in their research as soon as 
possible. The thesis work can be done in collaboration with our industrial 
partners.

Some scholarships are available for the best candidates, and we aim to work 
closely with our industrial partners to ensure continuation of the research 
work after the conclusion of the PhD.

Any further questions should be send to: nemps-... at siti1.ulusofona.pt

Structure

The increasing Internet pervasiveness as communication and social media is 
changing the daily routines of today's Information Society, providing not only 
solid grounds to improve social interaction, but also assisting in the 
dissemination of regional/local scope interests - thus contributing to a true 
global village.

In such pervasiveness, society has been having a predominant role due to the 
fact that citizens use the Internet not only to participate in provided 
services, but also by providing new services. The impact of this active 
participation is the consequence of two fundamental principles of Informatics 
Sciences: i) a fast-paced evolution of Internet services and architectures; ii) 
a wider interaction and immersion of the Internet user, as integrating part of 
these services, and technologies.
It is within this context that the NEMPS doctoral programme has been developed. 
NEMPS has as main goal to train individuals within the context of Informatics 
Sciences, but with specific expertise that can assist in solving and deriving 
innovation adequate to the Internet paradigms that are being raised due to the 
empowerment of the Internet user. Such expertise is derived from two main 
informatics sciences sub-areas: New Media and Pervasive Systems.
