== OBJECTIVES == 

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


"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 their
counterparts 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)])

The 10-year success of this EC-US exchange programme has been celebrated and the European Commission committed to proceed on the funding alongside with other EU and US partners. Hundreds post-graduate students have benefited from this programme.
