Objectives of the programme

Innovative Multicultural Curricula (IMCC) for the Young EC and US Engineers and Scientists.

IMCC is a framework project for Master student mobility across the Atlantic ocean, adapted for a limit set of European and US technolgy instititutes and universities.

"The IMCC project effectively combines academic and cultural exchange activities for undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students with a range of science and engineering subjects. In addition to student exchanges between the European Union and the USA, the programme provides for staff exchanges as well as joint research and joint curriculum development with mutual academic recognition. IMCC thus enables visiting American students not only to meet theircounterparts from the host university, but also from partner institutions in other countries. Similar opportunities are available to European students visiting US universities. The cultural dimension is reinforced by participation in events such as orientation weeks, visits to companies and industry fairs, theatregoing, sporting activities and sightseeing.Activities on offer have ranged from attending graduation ceremonies to watching hot air balloon races." (Extract from [http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/eu-usa/project/us_9609_outec.pdf description] ).
