The Centre is active in Undergraduate and Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, recognising the extreme importance of systematically transferring the results of research and service activities into education. The aim is to bring training closer to the needs of companies, organisations and institutions. To this end, CMI employees are regularly active as lecturers in their respective areas of specialisation at DEASS, at other SUPSI departments and at third-party training institutions. 
 

Over the years, the Centre has developed project-based collaborations with academic, corporate and institutional partners in Switzerland and abroad. It is its prerogative to promote collaborations with academic partners at local, national and international level, as well as with local and national partners in order to facilitate the exchange of good practices.
