ACTION GROUPS

UMM is a programme which fosters cooperation between university students in Europe and microfinance practitioners. UMM has been launched by PlaNet Finance and Freie Universität Berlin and is co-financed by the European Commission within the frame of its Education for Development Programme. In 2010 the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) has set up an e-MFP Action Group “UMM” to further enhance students’ research and microfinance education. As of today, 47 academics from 32 universities and 49 microfinance practitioners from 25 organisations volunteer to support UMM as Selection Committee members. In total the UMM events gathered 1886 students, professors and practitioners from 10 European countries.
