Integrated Microwave Photonics: Enschede (the Netherlands)
2019-01-26 - 2019-02-01 | Enschede (the Netherlands), Enschede, Netherlands
Dear EUIMWP participants,
On behalf of the MC of the EUIMWP (European Network for High Performance Integrated Microwave Photonics, CA 16220) COST Action, we are pleased to announce the Training School entitled “Integrated Microwave photonics: from idea to chips”. It will take place in Enschede (the Netherlands), from 26th of February to 1st of March, 2019, and will be organized by LioniX International.
The training is based on the recently developed hybrid integrated microwave photonics chip platform developed by LioniX International, which combines the low-loss silicon nitride (TriPleX) waveguide technology with indium phosphide (InP) chip-based active components, such as gain diodes, modulators, and detectors in order to have a compact and robust multi-chip module. The combination of active InP and low loss TripleX allows the implementation of several functionalities on-chip, e.g. filtering, beamforming, taking advantage of the strength of each material. This is the first fully hybrid integrated microwave photonics module that provides full RF-to-RF functionality.
The program is as follows:
Day 1: Introduction to microwave photonics & performance analysis of a microwave photonic link
Day 2: Functional design of a microwave photonic filter and beamformer, and their performance simulations
Day 3: From functional design to chip design, fabrication, assembly & characterization
Day 4: TriPleX Multi Project Wafer (MPW) run training.

1st PhD and ECI meeting in Slovenia
2019-01-31 - 2019-02-01 | Ljubljana (Slovenia), Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Dear EUIMWP participants,
Hi, we are pleased to announce you that Prof. Boštjan Batagelj and his team have offered to host the 1st EUIMWP PhD and ECI meeting in Ljubljana (Slovenia). The meeting will be held from January 31st to February 1st, 2019, at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Tržaška 25, Ljubljana, Slovenia
This meeting aims to provide an opportunity for networking between ECIs and PhD students. We believe that at this early stage of their career the interaction can be very useful in terms of scientific knowledge, exchange of ideas and potential collaborations. To be more concrete:
a) By allowing the ECIs to give short open-type presentations (i.e in form of discussion papers) they can be aware of “who is doing what” in integrated Microwave Photonics, what are the problems and challenges their peers are facing and more importantly if they can provide help, comment or feedback on how to tackle them in light of their experience. This could lead to personal collaborations that can be later formalized by means of STSMs.
b) Moreover, ECIs might find that they are trying to solve similar problems with different approaches so a benefit can be obtained by teaming up. Equally important, new challenges can be identified were two or more ECIs can team to work together in order to find solutions.
c) The meeting can be very useful in terms of exchanging experience on technical approaches, interactions with foundries, software use, design approaches… Interactions can also cover issues related to measurements and characterization. Again, in this case the interaction can provide a more detailed information of common problems that ECIs face when carrying out this work. For example an ECI wishing to perform a chip design/fabrication/testing can get first hand feedback and advice from others who have already completed training and/or a fabrication/test run.
The tentative agenda is as follows:
Thursday 31st January
12:45 – 13:00 Welcome to PhD and ECI participants by Local Organiser
13:00 – 15:30 PhD and ECI presentations (session I)
15:30 – 16:00 Coffee break
16:00 -18:30 PhD and ECI presentations (session II)
Friday 1st February
09:00 – 12:00 Round table: challenges and search for solutions
The Action will cover the travel, accommodation and meals expenses of the participants, according to COST rules (please have a look to the COST Vademecum, downloadable here: https://www.cost.eu/cost-actions/cost-actions-networking-tools/, pages 23-27). Please note that participants from International Partner Countries, IPC (in the case of our Action: USA, Australia, China, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Iran and Colombia) are welcome to participate in this meeting, but unfortunately the Action could not reimburse their expenses, since they are not eligible… We are very sorry about this.

Emerging technologies for 5G networks
2019-09-10 - 2019-09-13
Dear EUIMWP participants,
On behalf of the MC of the EUIMWP (CA 16220) COST Action, we are pleased to announce the Training School entitled “Emerging technologies for 5G networks”. It will take place in Thessaloniki (Greece), from 10th to 13th of September 2019.
Future 5G networks will give rise to a wide range of new services, including enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) applications, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication and Internet of Things (IoT), addressing the needs of multiple vertical markets. The large variety of demanding applications and use case scenarios have been setting highly demanding end-user requirements, such as low latency, high traffic capacity, spectral efficiency, low energy consumption for the end-to-end communication, placing tremendous load on the underlying infrastructure of the fronthaul network. On the verge of the 5G era, Fiber Wireless technologies and Integrated Photonics will play a pivotal role in supporting the service and network requirements, while the emerging converged Fiber Wireless network architectures relying on PONs and Optical Transport Networks will certainly require enhanced Medium Access Control schemes and more efficient resource allocation mechanisms, stimulating intense Research & Development efforts in this direction.
Organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) within the frames of the EUIMWP Cost Action and the 5G-PHOS 5G-PPP Phase II IA, the European Training aims to cover all topics of Emerging Technologies for 5G, with the main focus being on

Passive optical networks: architectures, Media Access Control and Resource Allocation techniques.
Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks: Challenges and opportunities

The training will be hosted at the facilities of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Innovation (C.I.R.I., http://kedek.auth.gr/ ) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which hosts the laboratory facilities of the Wireless and Photonic Systems and Networks research group (WinPhos, http://winphos.web.auth.gr/ ) and its 5G testbed infrastructure. The training will include talks from both Industry and Academia and is mainly intended for Ph.D. students and Early Carrier Investigators.

3rd PhD and ECI meeting, Sep 21st, 2021, Online
2021-09-21
The last PhD and ECI meeting of the EUIMWP COST Action is planned to take place on September 21st, 2021. It will have to be virtual, unfortunately, since due to the COVID situation organising an in-person meeting would be too risky.
Similarly to what has been done in the past meetings, participants are invited to very briefly present the topic of their research and then have a round table session to facilitate knowledge exchange and future collaboration options.
As a reminder, according to the COST Vademecum, ECI is an individual who is within a time span of up to 8 years from the date they obtained their PhD/doctorate (full-time equivalent).
The agenda will be published briefly.
