The necessity and the opportunities for academic interfaculty cooperation has increased significantly in recent years. This cooperation is key to the evolution of the MIM Programme and for new CEMS reasearch initiatives.

Faculty Groups constitute an opportunity for academics from CEMS schools to work with peers on the issues that they are focusing on in their personal research. They function within the framework of the CEMS MIM programme. They fulfill the requirement for international cooperation in Block Seminars and CEMS courses. Additionally, they create numerous opportunities for joint book, article and/or research projects as well as the organisation of Doctoral education workshops.
