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.

连接性是现代“信息社会”中的主要驱动力，在此驱动数据驱动的应用程序正在爆炸，而新的基于信息的价值链正在迅速出现。光网络是全球通信基础架构的骨干，互连数十亿人和大量各种自主设备，控制系统和机器。光学系统的开发促使对数据交换和利用的需求的飙升，这是由基于Web的服务（例如Ultra-HD流媒体，云服务，5G增殖，促进数字世界的变化）以及塑造现代社会结构的推动力的。需求增长在访问和地铁链接中尤为明显，其中数据速率在很大程度上需要超过当前<1 tb/s。此外，Covid -19（在家中工作的人数大量）加剧了对光网络的压力。此外，系统要素的财务成本，延迟，动态可重构性和能耗等特征对于新一代访问和地铁网络而逐渐变得更加重要。什么时候？然后在哪里？连贯的光学收发器将部署在Metro-Aggregation光网络中，以满足对新的成本效益解决方案的需求。内斯特还将对谁讲话？通过为新一代工程师提供高级培训，博士项目可以显着扩大访问/地铁网络的灵活性和能力。内斯特（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，Orange，Sm-Optics，VPI和Ericsson）的互补专业知识。内斯特将为研究员提供独特的广泛教育，从最近的ML＆AI进步到现实世界电信工程，这将使他们能够设计和实施高容量的访问和地铁网络。
