Federation of European Mineral Programs (FEMP) is a (legal) organisation in which 25 leading multinational companies participate together with seven leading European Universities. These offer the joint European Mining, Minerals and Environmental Program (EMMEP) which is an integrated program with three specialisations. The Federation is the co-ordinating body for matters regarding education and research covering all aspects of Mineral Engineering in a large part of Europe.
The three specialisations are:
- - Mining Engineering (European Mining Course (EMC))
- - Mineral Engineering (European Mineral Engineering Course (EMEC))
- - Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering (European Geotechnical and Environmental Course (EGEC))
The participating universities are: Aachen (RWTH), Delft (TU Delft), University of Exeter (Camborne School of Mines), Helsinki (Aalto University), Miskolc (TU Miskolc) and Wrocław (Wrocław UT).
The programs are developed for the students of the six universities, however a limited number of outside students participate as well. As a result, between 50 and 60 students join the FEMP program annually.Since the start in 1996 over 600 students participated in the programs. One of the objectives of FEMP is to assist students financially with the extra cost, when being abroad. In order to be able to subsidise the students for these extra costs FEMP receives annual contributions from its members. The industry is also represented in FEMP via Euromines.

“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)

“If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
