Our Vision
The T.I.M.E. Аssociаtion is a leading forum which supports collaborative activities working towards developing the international dimension of education and research. T.I.M.E. brings together a network of distinguished peers, eminent in the field of international higher education and who share the same values, thereby fаcilitаting mutuаl rеcognition of quаlificаtions аnd providing strаtеgic аnd innovаtivе аpproаchеs to the intеrnаtionаlizаtion of higher education.
Promoting internationalisation involves not only strategic partners in academia and research, but also in industry, especially companies operating globally, whose corporate experience is relevant to the strategic thinking and implementation of internationalisation.

Our mission
The T.I.M.E. Association is a network of leading technical universities and engineering schools founded in Paris in 1989. The members have a strong international dimension in their research, teaching and industrial relations and are all committed to international cooperation, student exchanges and recognition of studies abroad. The association consists of 56 members in 24 countries including Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, and Japan in addition to the main European countries.
The main purpose of T.I.M.E. is to facilitate the exchange of students for double master’s degrees in engineering. Since its creation, over 3,000 carefully selected students have graduated with two master’s degrees and they have enjoyed a rapid career progression in industry and in other fields of activity. T.I.M.E. double degree graduates are mobile, adaptable and culturally aware. In addition to double degrees, T.I.M.E. enables its members to:
- network for EU-funded projects in education
- identify opportunities for academic collaboration
- exchange good practices and experiences
- participate in specialised task forces
- promote expertise
- increase their visibility
