Connectivity is the major driver in the modern "information society", where the range of data-driven applications is exploding, and new information-based value chains are rapidly emerging. Optical networks are the backbone of the global communication infrastructure, interconnecting billions of people and a huge number of various autonomous devices, control systems, and machines. Optical systems' development incites the skyrocketing growth in the demand for data exchange and harnessing, fuelled by web-based services such as ultra-HD streaming, cloud services, 5G proliferation, fostering the changes in the digital world, and shaping the structure of the modern society. The demand growth is especially pronounced in the access and metro links, where data rates largely exceeding the current <1 Tb/s will be required. Moreover, the COVID-19 - with the huge number of people working from home - has intensified the pressure on the optical networks. Also, features such as the financial cost of the system elements, latency, dynamic reconfigurability, and energy consumption gain progressively more importance for the new generation of access and metro networks.The Doctorate Network NESTOR will answer the How? When? and Where? coherent optical transceiver will be deployed in metro-aggregation optical networks to meet the demand for new cost-efficient solutions. NESTOR will also address the Who? by providing advanced training to 10 Fellows - from a new generation of engineers - with PhD projects significantly expanding the flexibility and capacity of access/metro networks. NESTOR harnesses the complementary expertise of the top academic groups (Aston, PoliTO, UPC, SSSA, and TU/e) and core telecom industry (Infinera, BT, Orange, SM-Optics, VPI and Ericsson). NESTOR will provide Fellows with a uniquely broad education ranging from recent advances in ML&AI to real-world telecom engineering, which will enable them to design and implement high-capacity access and metro networks.

互联互通是现代“信息社会”的主要驱动力，数据驱动的应用范围呈爆炸式增长，基于信息的新价值链正在迅速出现。光网络是全球通信基础设施的骨干，将数十亿人和大量各种自主设备、控制系统和机器互连起来。在超高清流媒体、云服务、5G 普及等基于网络的服务的推动下，光学系统的发展刺激了数据交换和利用的需求急剧增长，促进了数字世界的变化，并塑造了数字世界的结构。现代社会。接入和城域链路的需求增长尤其明显，其中所需的数据速率将大大超过当前<1 Tb/s。此外，随着大量人员在家工作，COVID-19 加剧了光网络的压力。此外，系统元件的财务成本、延迟、动态可重配置性和能耗等特性对于新一代接入和城域网络变得越来越重要。博士网络 NESTOR 将回答“如何？”的问题。什么时候？和哪里？相干光收发器将部署在城域聚合光网络中，以满足对新的经济高效解决方案的需求。 NESTOR 还将向“谁？”发表讲话。通过为新一代工程师的 10 名研究员提供高级培训，其博士项目显着扩展了接入/城域网络的灵活性和容量。 NESTOR 利用顶级学术团体（Aston、PoliTO、UPC、SSSA 和 TU/e）和核心电信行业（Infinera、BT、Orange、SM-Optics、VPI 和 Ericsson）的互补专业知识。 NESTOR 将为研究员提供独特的广泛教育，从机器学习和人工智能的最新进展到现实世界的电信工程，这将使他们能够设计和实施高容量接入和城域网络。
