Aims and Objectives
The aim of the CMEC is to provide "hands-on" experience for young people interested in the European Union. It is meant as a way of illustrating the decision-making process by making the participants part of this process. Most delegates study related subjects, such as law, politics or languages. However, there seems to be a significant number of physicists among the organisers and participants.

Famous quotes containing the words aims and/or objectives:
“Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.”
—Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
