On the 12th and 13th of November, Alain Trémeau represented the Master Mundus CIMET at the European Higher Education Fair in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the stand of the Erasmus Mundus project EACOVIROE (Action 3).  See http://www.ehefindonesia.com/ He also participated to several University visits, along with the French Campus France delegation in Indonesia. Alain Trémeau visited the Institute Tecknologi Bandung (ITB) and Universitas Indonesia (UI) to establish bilateral agreements. See www.indonesia.campusfrance.org/ 

Following a call for proposals from the Higher Education Ministry in Norway and the Foreign and European affairs Ministry in France, a new Master course is opening in September 2012.

This Franco-Norwegian Master course will focus on "3D Multimedia Technology" between the Faculty of Science and Technology of University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne and Gjøvik University College. The Master is based on the Master "Optics, Image, Vision" delivered by University Jean Monnet in Saint-Etienne and the Master in "Media Technology" of Gjøvik University College. 

The fourth edition of the Master Erasmus Mundus CIMET arrived in Saint-Etienne on the 5th of September and participated to the induction period organised by the coordinating team at the Faculty of Science and the international office of the University Jean Monnet.

Many congratulations to the students of the second CIMET cohort 2009-2011, who graduated on the 13th of September 2011 in Saint-Etienne. 

The CIMET Consortium welcomes Markku Hauta-Kasari as the new Academic coordinator of CIMET at University of Eastern Finland.

Ateendra Kumar Singh, CIMET master student representative cohort II, attended the EMA General Assembly in Budapest on 24th and 25th June 2011. His presentation can be obtained here.

Professor Jussi Parkkinen, CIMET coordinator at University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu campus has recently been appointed for three years, at Australian Monash University, Sunway Campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

In his new position Professor Parkkinen will continue research in color science, pattern recognition, and image analysis. He will remain involved in CIMET through building connections and partnerships between CIMET consortium and Monash University Malaysian Campus. Interesting PhD opportunities will also be created within his research team.

Alain Trémeau (UJM) as coordinator of the CIMET Program was invited by the French Erasmus Mundus National Structure (see www.europe-education-formation.fr) as the best practice EMMC project representative for the training seminar organized within the Erasmus Mundus Active Participation (EMAP, see  http://emap-project.webnode.cz/) project in Latvia (Riga / 17-20 February 2011).

If you are admitted to CIMET but not a holder of the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, please use the search engine from Campus France to find a grant depending on your country of origin. See document attached for instructions.

Raju Shrestha, former CIMET student, now doctoral student at Gjovik University College was also invited to give a talk on his work at a workshop in Standford University (http://scien.stanford.edu/pages/conferences/3D%20Imaging/speakers.php).
