MECA, the microelectronics cloud alliance

摘要

The MicroElectronics Cloud Alliance (MECA) is a European funded project where 18 higher education institutions, and small and medium enterprises, sited in nine different European countries, have the aim of developing a Cloud-based European infrastructure for improving the education in microelectronics. In MECA open educational resources, educational and professional software, remote access to virtual laboratories are shared, all based on modules and learning facilities remotely available. MECA wants to be the one-stop platform of reference for the microelectronics education and the useful tool for sharing resources among institutes working in microelectronics design training. In fact, thanks to the Cloud system built inside MECA Consortium, the resources of all the partners are shared, both hardware and software, excluding licensing of course, for clear legal reasons.
