IMS 2020 - International Medical School 2020
The IMS 2020 Project which is coordinated by the Charité is an Erasmus Life Long Learning three year project funded by the EU. The project has nine project partners including six top European medical schools (Berlin, Paris, Antwerp, Karolinska, Warsaw, Rome), one Australian medical school (Monash) and two advisory partners (Brussels Education Services and the Centre for Higher Education Development, CHE).IMS 2020 envisages the creation of a structural network of medical schools in Europe (and beyond) that will study, learn from and act upon the impact of ‘internationalization’ on the following three key issues: - Quality Assurance - Staff Training - Autonomy and Accountability (Governance). Within the structural network the above issues will form three Task Forces, each with its own specific agenda and activities. The ultimate aim of these three Task Forces will be the creation of an „International Medical School“ Label with Europe-wide recognition which medical schools will be able to apply for. The label will eventually help to identify top quality international medical schools across Europe and beyond.
MEDINE - Medical Education in Europe
The MEDINE2 Thematic Network in Medical Education in Europe will build on the work of the MEDINE Network, 2004-2007. The Network is required because the education and training of medical doctors to a high standard is critical to the physical health, well-being, productivity and social cohesion of European society. Various issues must be addressed. Despite facilitative legislation, mobility of medical students and practitioners within Europe is limited, despite increasing mobility of citizens. Standards and content of medical education programmes are inconsistent, and the transparency and comparability of qualifications are limited. This adversely affects equity of access to quality health-care. Application of the Bologna principles to medical education is patchy and variable, leading to further divergence of practice.
MedMotion
The Med-Motion Project envisages removing barriers and implementing workable student and staff mobility strategies for the medical/health care sector in Europe and beyond.

CHarME - Challenges of Harmonising Medical Education in Europe
The CHarME Project (completed in 2010) envisaged developing joint strategies for the modernisation of the medical curriculum in order to make them more transparent, more comparable, more compatible and (most importantly!) more responsive to the needs of the 21st labour market and society in general.
