Over the past six years the Cambridge-MIT Institute has led to many excellent transatlantic partnerships, adding to the strong links that already existed. As CMI moves beyond the grant-giving phase of the original funding, the two Universities are very keen to maintain a strong platform on which new opportunities and relationships can grow. Based on the successes and effective practices learned from CMI, we have developed a significant set of activities that form the new Cambridge-MIT Partnership Programme.

The Cambridge-MIT Partnership Programme has three broad strands of activity:

These activities focus on Skills Education, Interdisciplinary Curricula, Blended Pedagogy, Professional Entrepreneurial Education, and Assessment. More...
