Top International Managers in Engineering (T.I.M.E.), formerlyTop Industrial Managers for Europe, is a network of fifty-sevenengineering schools, faculties andtechnical universities. The oldest European network of engineering schools in its field, the T.I.M.E. Association promotesgraduate student exchanges and double degrees throughout Europe and the world to enable students to achieve a broader, high-level scientific engineering education with in-depth intercultural experience.[1]
Several hundreds of graduate students per year participate in T.I.M.E. mobility activities and pursue double degrees (at Master and Doctorate levels). Double degrees require the participating student to spend more than three semesters in another member university and at least the same in his/her home university, to be awarded two full degrees.
The T.I.M.E. network includes primarily graduate engineering schools and technical universities from Europe, but increasing numbers of members are now from other continents.
In 1989, the T.I.M.E. network was created at theÉcole Centrale Paris. Its main purpose was to coordinate European double degree and exchange programmes in engineering at the Master's level. The T.I.M.E. network had 16 founding members, each a leading engineering institution in its respective country. The T.I.M.E. Association was formally incorporated as a not-for-profit body under French law in 1997, with 29 members. Current membership is 57 institutions from 23 countries.[2][3]
TIME members include the following engineering schools and faculties and technical universities:[4]
