The IMI Program Pages
We are updating and expanding the IMI program pages.
Over the next several weeks, we will be adding new pages with essential details on more than a hundred programs in the categories on the right-hand side.
During this period of transition, we will update the maps and lists of programs as and when we complete the new program pages. The maps and lists may, as a consequence, appear incomplete or inconsistent.
At the end of the process, IMI will be home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of program pages, which will run the whole gamut from well-known CIPs to obscure startup visas.
If you find that any of the information on our program pages is incorrect, please email the editor directly at cn@imidaily.com.
