The European (EMEC) and International Master in Early Childhood Education & Care programmes (IMEC) were joint degree postgraduate programmes supported by Socrates and Erasmus funding.
Ten years after the start of the journey in 2005, and 100 international graduates later, the conclusion of the programmes was celebrated in November 2016 with a final conference which brought graduates and staff together.
OMEP (Ireland) further supported EMEC and IMEC by publishing a select number of papers of the conference. The special issue (Volume 11 - September 2017) has been made available online and can be accessed/downloaded from www.omepireland.ie/publications.html.
