After two years of activities, which included surveys, analyses, and international conferences and seminars, the Network has produced a set of results. These findings are shared with the Higher Education Community at large with the aim to support institutions in overcoming administrative and management difficulties in the development and implementation of Joint Programmes.

This training method is realized in the JOI.CON project (Joint Programme Management – Conferences and Training). The offspring of JOIMAN aims at training present and future coordinators of Joint Programmes. Its milestones are two international conferences and an embedded training, more specifically a Joint Programme simulation.
