Internal organisation

The CIMET consortium is organised around a single coordination entity located at University Jean Monnet, Saint-Etienne. This coordination office is in charge of the overall management and administration of the Master programme.

Please find here our Consortium Agreement.

Academic Coordinators  are key contact persons ensuring the smooth running of the teaching activities and general counselling to the students on each university site:

 

	Professor Alain Trémeau, Consortium coordinator  and Academic coordinator   and Academic coordinator for Saint-Etienne.  E-mail: alain.tremeau@univ-st-etienne.fr
	Professor Jon Yngve Hardeberg    Academic coordinator for Gjøvik.  E-Mail: jon.hardeberg@hig.no
	Professor Markku Hauta Kasari    Academic coordinator for Joensuu.   E-Mail: markku.hauta-kasari@uef.fi
	Professor Javier Hernández Andrés    Academic coordinator for Granada.  E-mail: javierha@ugr.es

 

Academic coordinators communicate on a regular basis via email, via video-conference or in meetings.

As to ensure efficient and smooth coordination of the overall aspects of the Master CIMET, various bodies have been set:

 The Joint Graduate Committee (or JGC)  is an executive body ruling on both study matters and general Master management. The JGC is therefore in charge of:

• Controlling the procedures of the programme of studies;
• Guaranteeing the programme of Compulsory Courses in each institution, and the syllabus of Optional Courses;
• Deciding upon syllabus changes;
• Deciding upon changes, such as study plan, the structure and the credit recognition scheme of the Master;
• Adjusting re-sit and balance examination criteria within the curriculum.

As for general management is concerned, the JGC is responsible for:

• Creating the conditions necessary for implementation of the agreement;
• Selection of candidatures from applicants (students and scholars),
• Allocating them among the universities; To pay attention to the principle of gender equality;
• Managing the tuition fees policy;
• Deciding the amount of general costs kept by the coordinating institution;
• Changing the conditions for the participation in the joint Master, if specific reasons require it;
• Managing exceptions and problematic cases;
• Dealing with students under probation.
