The biggest impact for graduate level studies will be achieved through the array of MIRTHE supported graduate research projects, as well as through graduate student exchange between MIRTHE’s partners.   Exchanges will facilitate the seamless integration of the various research tasks, giving more meaning, substance and breadth to individual theses, as well as providing the students with added experience by exposing them to varied research environments.  MIRTHE also will institute an exchange program with our industrial partners, with the concurrent goals of on-the- job training, technology transfer and future professional placement.
