Global Vision of the Project

Illustration 1: Schematic vision of the global project

The objective of this project is to develop a framework for education and research between some French Universities (Le Havre, Paris 13 and Rouen) and some Kurdish Universities (Sulaimania University, for example) concerning applied mathematics and computer sciences, with a research speciality in complex systems modelling.

This framework is mainly based on the creation of a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science with a join formation in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science called "REcoMAS". This formation will be integrated into the diploma delivered by the Kurdish Universities. The French partners Universities will participate to the Master of Science and will give lectures and will make some thesis advising. Evaluations and improvements of the Master of Science formation will be made by all the participants and will lead to the organisation each two years of an international conference on "New Trends in Education". Visio-conferences will be developed using advanced new technologies and will help for the development of an efficient interaction with all the partners countries.
Co- tutelage PhD will be initiated between Kurdistan and France partners, using a virtual laboratory which links research groups from the participant countries, based on NTIC and Internet. Each two-years a "Young Researchers School" will be organized in Kurdistan allowing to present the progress of the PhD students and to manage the whole project with all the PhD advisors from Kurdistan and France partners.
