mCloud Alliance brings together 18 higher education institutions (HEIs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop Cloud-based European infrastructure and organisation for education in microelectronics providing a range of open educational resources (OERs), remote access and sharing of educational and professional software, remote and practice-based learning facilities. Neither university can afford the necessary infrastructure, clean rooms, technology and experts in all fields of this multidisciplinary science. Sharing of laboratory experiences, CAD tools, project ideas, and a common infrastructure represents a sort of “educational cloud” on top of the cloud software/hardware infrastructure. 8 European HEIs and 8 SMEs jointly developed e-learning materials for 25 courses on: CAD and technologies, test, and application of integrated circuits and systems, and we will deliver them as OERs to strengthen the virtual mobility. 4 of the courses are developed by the business partners. Each university provides remote access to its facilities, laboratory experiments/software systems for the partners in a cloud teaching system, giving them access to new resources. In the pilot test and field trial 1128 persons were involved and the results of the survey are very positive. All developed courses are considered to fulfill a more than average need of SMEs in short term. In long term the industry will need even more skills and competences in the proposed topicsWe can conclude that the university world is close to the industry needs in the sector of microelectronics.New National and Regional Knowledge Alliances were created – 45 memoranda of understanding for future collaboration within mClouds and knowledge sharing Business-Academia signed.More than 50 European enterprises involved and another 15 universities.New countries joined the Microelectronics Knowledge Alliance: Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Serbia.
