1 INTRODUCTION
The aim of the workpackage was to implement a virtual campus of excellence on Future Internet
Design. To achieve this high level objective a set of graduate courses on design, analysis and
engineering of future Internet was created. The course materials have been disseminated by
electronic means using the project tools. To evaluate the quality of the courses and their impact, a
quality assessment program was established to guarantee the permanent quality monitoring as
well as the adaptation of the programme. To this end, an opinion poll on the quality of
training was carried out at every PhD course by distributing a questionnaire to the
participants. In addition, the coordinator of each PhD course had to provide the list of
participants to the PhD course with affiliation, contact details and signature of the students.
This was done for both, Euro-NF members and external attendants. Also, the coordinator had
to provide the list of lecturers participating, the PhD course program, the main scientific
objective of the course, and the assessment of the event as perceived from organisers.
2 EURO-NF PHD COURSES
2.1 Summary of Achievements A total of 25 PhD courses have been lectured from 2008 to 2012. They covered several of the
technical workpackages of Euro-NF. Two PhD courses were lectured in 2008, seven in 2009,
eight in 2010, four in 2011 and four in 2012. The initial objective was to lecture 20 PhD
courses in total, which means that Euro-NF has surpassed the initial objective.
It was requested that every PhD course should have a minimum of 20 hours in lectures.
Actually, the courses had different durations between 20 and 40 hours. The students could get
a certificate of attendance when requested. It was up to the University to which the student
belonged to consider or not the course for units of credit in their PhD programme. All the
courses had an associated web site. The courses have been lectured in 12 different countries
and, mostly, at the universities that integrated the NoE.
2.2 Lectured PhD Courses The complete list of the twenty five lectured courses is displayed in Table 1.
The table indicates the course number, the related JRA workpackage covered, the name of the
course, a web link, the main organizer(s), as well as the location, duration and dates.

Averages over
all Euro-NF
PhD courses
2.31 2.42 17.2
The assessment of the courses and instructors was very good, which reflects the high quality
of the courses provided. For the courses with a small number of students, the statistical
significance of the results offers less confidence than for the others. This has been taken into
account when computing the averages.
We have used the following formula to calculate the contribution of course m to the global
average for the k-th question:
coursesPhDalltsparticipannumbertotal
mtsparticipannumbermkmark
_____
__),(
Project FP7 ICT N° 216366 – Euro-NF 14 June 2012
Deliverable N°: D.IA.5.1.1
Dissemination level: PU 12
where mark(k,m) is the mark obtained by the course m in the k-th question,
number_participants_m is the number of participants in the course m, and
total_number_participants_all_PhD_courses is the sum of number_participants_m for all m
(that is, the TOTAL number of participants that attended all the Euro-NF PhD courses).
3 CONCLUSION
The PhD courses provided in the Euro-NF NoE were a total of 25. Most of them had a very
good attendance and the assessment made by the students was generally very good (2.31 out
of 3). The PhD courses have covered all, but one, the technical areas of the NoE. They have
been evenly distributed along the years of the project so that the students had always available
some course to be taken. In conclusion, we consider that the objectives of work package
IA 5.1 were fully achieved and that the experience gained can be very useful for the structure
of a future virtual school for graduate students in Internet Architecture.
