Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM)

Intelligent Photonics for Security Reliability Sustainability and Safety (iPSRS)

The iPSRS (Intelligent Photonics for Security, Reliability, Sustainability and Safety) programme is rooted in the successful legacy of the EMJMD Photonics for Security Reliability and Safety (PSRS). It has been funded by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master for the period 2024-2030

The Erasmus Mundus Master's program iPSRS is an initiative aimed at harnessing the synergies between photonics and artificial intelligence (AI) to meet current and future societal and industrial challenges


Coordinated by the Université Jean Monnet (UJM) in Saint-Étienne, the program also involves the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), the University of Vilnius (VU) in Lithuania and the Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) in France, as well as numerous associated partners from both academia and industry. 


It is designed to offer students unrivalled training in intelligent photonics, a field that combines cutting-edge technologies using light and waves with the power of AI for processing large volumes of data. The training covers fundamental topics as well as applications, and is based on courses, projects, seminars and internships. Students will thus acquire state-of-the-art knowledge, valuable practical experience in industry and research laboratories, and networking opportunities. The consortium's aim is to prepare future engineers and researchers to excel in fast-moving fields that stimulate innovation and technological advances.


From September 2024 to September 2030, iPSRS will award 80 Erasmus Mundus scholarships (1400 Euros per month) to talented individuals from all over the world.
