Project goals and objectives: 
• Creating new specialization “Master of Engineering in Microsystems Design” for technical universities in Ukraine
• Developing curricula and teaching materials for new specialization with a focus on 3-cycle ECTS educational structure, degree and diploma recognition in the partner countries
• Establishing/modernization of two Microsystem laboratories (Design and Test) for new specialization in target UA universities
• Incorporating modern Microsystem technologies in actual bachelor engineering curricula in UA universities
• Organization of graduate (Master) and improve post-graduate (PhD) education in the domain of computer-aided design of Microsystem devices
• Preparing high-quality engineer professionals in modern high-tech domain for national microelectronic companies
• Promoting Summer Schools and students work practice in Microsystems Design within the knowledge triangle
• Realization of wide-range cooperation between UA & EU partner institutions for students exchange, joint MSc and PhD research
Activities:
• Creating and adopting new specialization for Master speciality
• New curricula development for Microsystems Design specialization
• Establishing/modernization new Microsystems training laboratories
• Training UA academic staff for new specialization
• Advanced students training during work practice and technology courses
• Dissemination of project results between UA technical universities
• Project quality control and monitoring
• Management of the project
