The MACInAC project (Bridging Curricula: Mapping Compatibility for Academic International Collaboration) has come to a close after a year of collaborative work between Wrocław University of Science and Technology (coordinator), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · Barcelona and TU Darmstadt. Running from April 2025 to April 2026, the project set out to assess the curricular compatibility of three master’s programmes and to identify concrete pathways for new and improved double degrees.

The consortium has produced a set of resources now available to the wider T.I.M.E. community:
- a standardised Double Degree Agreement template;
- a step-by-step checklist for launching a new DD;
- a curriculum-mapping tool built around two indicators — Excess and Efficiency — to quickly assess feasibility;
- A pilot DD agreement between Wrocław Tech and TU Darmstadt illustrates the methodology in practice and offers a replicable model for other T.I.M.E. members considering similar initiatives.
