Student Mobility

Look at your partner universities:Contracts not only to be collected but result from both side strategy

Complementarity creates added value:Looking for partner doing the same means not to have understood internationalization> Comparability of academic and technical standards> But widening the outreach of your limited academic resources

Make your capacity visible:> Technical implementation by international Office> Academic implementation at faculty level

(Selection/Nomination & Recoginition)

Involve teaching and research:Teacher meat teacher and these are mostly researchers

Student mobility enhances changes> Individual level: Students> Individual level: Teacher learn from Incomings and Outgoings.> Institution: Becomes transparent and comparable with the students grade book.

>>Students know most and use this information.>>How Institutions learn from this?

Institutional Cooperation?

Any mobility needs institutional cooperationWhat is about teaching and research?

Complementarity creates added value

Cooperation in Teaching make your capacity visible:> Teaching staff exchange.> PLUS strategy: Teacher workshops>> Students have multiteacherteaching>> Staff is part of a joint reality (Academia)>> Teaching becomes research

Joint Modules > Joint Degrees?

Couples or multilateral approach> Bilateral or multilateral governance

New joint reality of Institutions:> New outreach in several disciplines> Regional or global new HE landscape> High relevance for small countries/HEI´s and HEI´s in transformation

Education & Integration:

Bridges for the Human Dimension

of European Integration

From everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living

nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges.

They are more important than houses,

more sacred than shrines.

Belonging to everyone and being equal to everyone,

useful, alsways built with a sense,

On the spot where most human needs are crossing,

they are more durable than other buildings

and they do not serve for anything secret or bad.

Ivo Andric
