the Physics and Mathematics of Information




Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the
2015 edition of the *Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of
Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies* (DP-PMI).

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in
the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences
and technologies, namely in:

1. Classical and Quantum Information Theory;
2. Classical and Quantum Logic, Computation and Machine Learning;
3. Classical and Quantum Information Security and Communications;
4. Nanoenergetics and Quantum Thermodynamics;
5. Ultimate limits to precision measurements and navigation.

The DP-PMI is hosted by Instituto Superior <http://www.ist.utl.pt/en/>
Tecnico <http://www.ist.utl.pt/en/> (IST), the School of Science and
Engineering of the University of Lisbon, in Portugal, and eight associated
research centres <http://www.dp-pmi.org/faculty.html>.

The programme is funded <http://www.dp-pmi.org/support.html> mainly by a
2.2 MEuro grant from the Portuguese Science Foundation
<http://www.fct.pt/index.phtml.en> (FCT). The first DP-PMI class has
started in January 2014. The programme will recruit up to 8 students in
2015 and up to 20 more students over the next two years, with the last
DP-PMI class expected to graduate in 2021.

The *Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information* aims
at recruiting top-level students at the global scale, and train them in a
multidisciplinary and international setting. The applications
<http://www.dp-pmi.org/applications.html> for the 2015 edition of the
DP-PMI, starting in September 2015, are open until *25 March 2015 at 14h00
Lisbon time*.

For more information, see:

Please advertise this information in your institution and directly to
potential candidates.

Thank you very much and best wishes,

Yasser
