The programs are developed for the students of the seven universities, however a limited number of outside students participate as well. As a result, between 50 and 60 students join the FEMP program annually.
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.
