Abstract :
Following the strategy of European Horizon 2020 project and the French national strategy of research, the future of science and technology will be driven by the communicating and smart objects that will extend in many fields of application to meet the societal needs. The CNFM, the French network for education in microelectronics and nanotechnologies, having a long experience in microelectronics education has to tackle this new challenge by shifting the curricula and the practical training of students to a more multidisciplinary way. An innovative strategy based on this approach is presently adopted, that means an orientation of the initial studies towards the applications by keeping the core of the skills. After a presentation of the context facilities, tools and skills of the CNFM network, this paper proposes an evolution of the microelectronic studies adapted to the approach of communicating and smart objects.
