The International Centre for the Study of the Mixed Economy of Childcare is a multi-disciplinary research centre established in May 2007 in the Cass School of Education. The centre, which has close links with the UEL Business School, brings together academics and students from across this university and other academic institutions nationally and internationally, as well as childcare business leaders, childcare professionals, national and local policy makers and politicians and representatives of unions and of private equity firms and other financial groups interested in investing in early childhood education and care provision.
ICMEC aims to influence research agendas and inform early childhood education and care policy and intervention locally, nationally and internationally. While it is primarily developing as a virtual centre to support collaboration and serve as a meeting point and clearing house for all interested in the mixed economy of childcare, ICMEC will also organise physical meetings and seminars in Britain. ICMEC is working to secure new funding for research, scholarship and knowledge transfer from a range of sources.
