Bakgrund och förutsättningar VR Linnestöd om 20 MSEK med tillhörande forskarskola 2,3 MSEK kronor för perioden 2006-07-01 - 2008-06-30. Bidragets totala längd kan uppgå till 10 år (2006-07-01 - 2016-06-30). Skolan för Elektro- och systemteknik medfinansierar centret med 2,2 MSEK/år Första utvärderingen av VR efter 2 år. Forskningsprogrammet ACCESS med tillhörande forskarskola ska drivas inom ramen för ett center vid skolan för elektro- och systemteknik. Centret skall även kunna utgöra en plattform för samverkan med industripartners.

Short Term (2 year) Objectives Results and Dissemination: Joint Projects: Several joint projects will be initiated. Provide a platform for entering into and extending our EU project portfolio. We will be partners in at least three new EU projects within FP7. Joint Publications: More joint journal publications will be added to our already strong publication record. Invited Sessions and Special Issues: Organize special sessions at the main conferences and to be guest-editors for special issues in the main scientific journals. Graduate Education: Graduate education will be restructured providing students with a broader expertise as outlined in the ACCESS graduate school application. Interaction with Applied Research: Industrial research projects (some of these may be EU projects) related to ACCESS will be initiated with two or three test-bed activities demonstrating key technologies.

Short Term (2 year) Objectives Renewal: Faculty Positions: At least two new faculty positions in the field of the proposal. Hiring of Post-docs: These positions will be openly announced, and the best candidates will be hired independent of group structure. We will focus on candidates that complement our current research competence. Mobility Program: An exchange program for guest researcher to KTH as well as funding of sabbaticals at international top universities for our faculty will be initiated. All graduate students in ACCESS will have the opportunity to spend three to six months at an international research laboratory (in academia or industry). This effort will be coordinated by corresponding STINT proposals. Workshop & Lecture Series
