The PhD students who are, or have been, carrying out
their research program in ARCES in the five-year period
2001-2005 are registered in four different PhD courses:
the first one, which was set up in ARCES in the academic
year 2003/04, is referred to as "Information Technology";
the second one is called "Electronics, Computer and Telecommunication
Engineering" and is organized by the DEIS Department;
the third one is the course in "Mathematics" and the fourth
one is referred to as "Computational Mathematics". ARCES
is currently educating 23 PhD students in Information
Technology and is, or has been, educating 43 PhD students
in Electronics, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering
and 5 students in Mathematics or Computational Mathematics.

A European doctorate program in Information Technology was started by ARCES at the beginning of year 2004. The participating Institutions are a number of highly-qualified European Universities and Research Centers, which signed an agreement protocol to define terms and conditions of the program. By separate agreements, a discipline ruling the conferral of double doctorate degrees has been established by the University of Bologna with K.U. Leuven and INPG Grenoble, as well as with the Research Institutes IMEC and CEA-LETI.

 In view of the economic problems of the Country, it is reasonable to expect that national funding of research programs will severely decline in the coming years. This process has already started in the last few years, and is likely to continue in the next five-year period. Nearly all Universities in this Country are facing challenging budget problems due to severe funding cuts, and the University budget structure, which typically allocates over 90% of the available resources to the payment of salaries, is forced to narrow down its support to research, at least in the short term.

A
fairly large number of spin-offs has been originated by
the ARCES activity over the years. Two of them, namely Yacme
S.r.l. and ImaVis S.r.l. were established before the Center
foundation. Likewise, Silicon Biosystems S.r.l. was established
in year 2000 in connection with the research activities
on biosensors, and is currently involved in joint research
work with ARCES.

The ministerial contribution to set up the Research Center
amounted to K€ 2.538 and was released over three years
(2002-2004). Three European IST projects (DEMAND, MEDICS
and HIGH-TREE) pertaining to the 5th Framework Program,
with a total budget of K€ 1.217, are completed or near
to completion. Within the 6th Framework Program, ARCES
is involved in three Integrated Projects (MAESTRO on wireless
communications, MORPHEUS on multiprocessor system design,
and PULLNANO on advanced ULSI technology), two STREP projects
on bio-nanoelectronics (RECEPTRONICS, COCHISE) both coordinated
by ARCES, two Galileo projects (GAMMA and MAGIC); two
Networks of excellence on silicon-based nanometer devices
(SINANO) and open cultural-heritage processing (EPOCH);
a Marie Curie Action (EDITH) to support a European PhD
Program in Information Technology. All together ARCES
has been involved in 13 European projects in the 5-year
period, which are listed in Table I at the top of next
page. The aggregated budget of the above European projects
exceeds 4 M€.

The
Italian-University Nano-Electronics Team (IU.NET) is a
national Inter-University Consortium promoted by ARCES,
with the aim of strengthening the traditional academic
approach to the international competition in strategic
sectors of scientific research. In response to the growing
need of networking, this Consortium connects research
units currently active at the forefront of Nanoelectronics
at the Universities of Bologna, Ferrara, Modena-Reggio
Emilia, Padova, Pisa, Roma "La Sapienza", Udine, and at
the Polytechnic of Milano.

The
Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI) is an industry-led action
forum chaired by Prof. Giovanni E. Corazza, designed
to bring together all aspects related to satellite communications.
ISI addresses broadcasting, broadband, and mobile satellite
communications, as well as their convergence, in integration
within the global telecommunication network infrastructure.
ISI supports all forms of space communication and space
exploitation. ISI is a Technology Platform included in
the seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European
Commission.

A
Master program in "Mobile & digital TV" is being started
from the academic year 2006/07 in cooperation with the
DEIS Department. This program is meant to educate first-level
graduates in any discipline of the Information Engineering,
Information Science, and Communication Science sectors,
and aims to shape up the professional figure of an MDTV
expert, with multi-disciplinary competence in various
technological aspects of information transmission, network
and system design, multi-media information processing,
as well as economic, social, and regulatory aspects related
with the new world of mobile & digital TV. Prof. Giovanni
E. Corazza is the Scientific Director of this Master program.
