• Education in advanced materials, to enhance the innovation potential of the students in their future activities

• Preparation of the students for life-long learning in new places, different cultures and new education/work systems

• Enhancement of networking activities within the EU and with third countries in the field of research and education 

------------------- 

Teaching and research:

• A far greater variety of competences in the field of materials science and engineering than could be provided by a single university

• A significant added value for the students in terms of opportunities for specialisation

• A broad spectrum of research possibilities, from fundamental to industry-related research

• The transfer of individual university-profiles to the whole Programme
