MESPOM Faculty

The individuals involved in delivering MESPOM include permanent resident faculty as well as affiliated academics and professionals with recognized experience in the field. The resident faculty is permanently employed by the Consortium partners and is responsible for developing, coordinating and delivering the program as well as assessing students’ work. All of these academics are active researchers and have European or global recognition in their research areas. In addition, over the years, the Consortium partners have developed a circle of core visiting lecturers from both Europe and around the world who could bring cutting edge research and academic experiences to students.
