Objective
The materials science education background looks very heterogenous even on national scales. The European framework appears even more diversified and unstructured. There is no institutional approach so far which materials scientists could rely on in Europe for this kind of information. In particular, a comprehensive European survey is missing. Self organizing networks are promising tools to establish information among their members and to keep it periodically up-to-date.
The aim of the original project is to collect and supply information on structures and conditions of materials science education in Europe. The data base should comprise all information regarding focal points of teaching and research, curricula, examinations and professors, duration of studies, etc., structure of the organization, research opportunities. For the development of new communication structures to eastern Europe, this information is most essential. In western Europe, the scientific exchange has been well developed since quite a while, whereas communication with most of the representatives of the eastern European community was cut for political reasons. Therefore, the proposed extension of the network to the eastern European educational system could help to stimulate communication by providing mobility especially for the younger generation. The project will be coordinated in the frame of the Federation of European Materials Societies which comprises 15 national materials related societies and which is therefore considered an excellent basis for establishing the network.
A status seminar will be held in 1994 in the frame of the 2nd JUNIOR EUROMAT Conference after the 1992 Conference had been very successful. It attracted more than 300 mostly young participants including important contingents of Eastern Europe.
The results of the data evaluation will finally be published in a European Guide for Materials Science Education.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
