Objectives : The consortium will design a set of courses (mandatory ones and electives) which could be the basis for joint or multiple master programmes in Networking. Selected existing programs in Europe and North America will be reviewed before the mandatory core modules are defined. A set of elective modules will allow to shape specific master programs according to the interests of the participating universities which want to set up a joint/multiple master program afterwards. The structure of the module/course description should be similar to the ACM/IEEE approach for CS. The transparency of the procedure will be maintained through the use of an electronic repository of academic information which will be accessible worldwide. The electronic repository will include search engines to facilitate potential users the search of courses through it.
