Virtual mobility: European education and beyond
Student mobility and exchange programmes are very common activities
among the Higher Education students nowadays. ERASMUS exchange
programmes were initiated to encourage the transnational cooperation
among universities in 1987. At the moment, about 2200 Higher Education
Institutions in 31 countries are participating in ERASMUS. In the last
20 years, 1.2 million students have had such an European mobility
study experience.
This event will investigate ways to improve the efficiency of the
Erasmus programme through the support for an extended Erasmus action.
This action would be a complement to the existing Erasmus exchange
programmes. More specifically, virtual Erasmus will be issued, since
it can be mainly used to prepare and follow-up the physical mobility,
and to support teachers in coaching at a distance. The participants
are expected to contribute to the design of such an extended Erasmus
action.
