The Tables below summarize the course
participation of students in 2005-2007. The
highlighted boxes in the Tables denote the number
of students belonging to the country that hosts
the course. In 2005, 244 students have
participated to ESoA (average of 22 student per
course) in 2006 the total number of students was
243 (average 22). In 2007 the total number of
students was 192 students with 10 courses done
(average 19). Some courses (due to high content
of experiments and lab) have set a limit to 12 or
15 students. The country of origin (i.e. of
residence) of the student is summarized in the
histograms in terms of percentage of the total
number of students.
2005 (244 students, 11 courses, average 22
students per course)
2006 (243 students, 11 courses, average 22
students per course)
2007 (192 students, 10 courses, average 19
students per course)
Country of origin of the TEACHERS The results
relevant to the number of teachers and their
provenience for each course are reported in the
Tables below. The highlighted boxes in the Tables
denote the number of teachers belonging to the
country that host the course. The average number
of teachers (including assistants and lecturers)
was 9 per course in 2005 and 2006. In order to
reduce the expenses, it was decided by the Board
to reduce this number. In 2007 the average number
of teachers decreased to an average of 6 per
course. The histograms presents the percentage of
teachers over the total number that come from a
certain country.
2005 (100 teachers, average 9 per course)
2006 (97 teachers, average 9 per course)
2007 ( 67 teachers, average 6,7 per course)

Other Results
International Mobility Index (IMI)
A good indicator of the success of ESoA is the
International Mobility Index (IMI), defined as
the ratio between the number of students
(teachers) not belonging to the host country over
the total number of students (teachers) per
course. The final histogram at right hand side
summarizes the average.

Mobility grants The Antenna centre of
Excellence offered 5 grants per course in the
years 2005, 2006, 2007 devoted to PhD students
not belonging to institutions of the ACE
consortium. The grants include the registration
fee (400 ) and reimbursement of the expenses for
additional 600. In the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 5
PhD students per course are entirely reimbursed
in the framework of the Marie Curie Action
program.
The histogram below presents in the horizontal
axis the number of student per course and on the
vertical axis the number of courses that have
registered the relevant number of student
(statistic along the 3 years). The global average
is 21,2 student per course.
In the histogram below, the students have been
categorized with respect to the affiliation, with
emphasis to ACE and NON ACE institutions.
