Description
This mobility project responds to the strategic policy of internationalisation of the University of Craiova which aims at increasing the number of staff and student exchange mobilities and international activities carried out by beneficiaries from our institution and partner universities from Norway and Iceland.
By granting beneficiaries access to the EEA Grants, we will increase the number of available exchange that our academic community can access in order to study or carry out research activities in partner universities from Norway and Iceland. Sustainability wise, carrying out this project will allow us to develop the partnerships that have already been established by our university with universities from donor countries and to allow our students and staff members the opportunity to visit these universities within the framework of the EEA Mobility Project.
The main objective of the project is to increase higher education student and staff mobility between the University of Craiova and universities from the donor states. Through this initiative, the institutions involved in mobility activities will work together in order to encourage collaboration in academic areas of common education interest.
The academic exchanges will allow the enhancement of each party''s educational and academic programmes. This will encourage exchange of information, best practices and academic materials in fields of mutual interest.
The target group consist of staff members and students of the University of Craiova and partner institutions involved in this mobility project.
The role of the donor partner is essential in providing support to foster academic exchange and international cooperation. Moreover, the role of the partner is to contribute to the drawing up of realistic and achievable objectives and to their implementation through common actions.
Summary of project results
The mobility project was needed both for institutional purpose (enhanced cooperation with universities in Norway and Iceland, increasement of the number of student exchange mobilities and international activities carried out by participants from our university) and for ensuring the performance level provided by the appropriate training of students, in order to improve their skills and competences.
During the mobility project, three outbound student mobilities and eight staff mobilities (six outbound mobilities and two inbound mobilities) were undertaken. The program and the activities included in the mobility plan of each student were respected, thus achieving the objectives proposed for each mobility. The results of these enriching experiences will be sustained and propagated within the University of Craiova, through enhanced knowledge and will ensure internationalization at home for a long-term which is beneficial both for the students and to the academic staff.
Summary of bilateral results
The donor project partners provided support to foster academic exchange and international cooperation. The partners from Donor states actively contributed to drawing the realistic and achievable objectives and to transposing them into practice through common actions. Moreover, the partnership achieved mutual enrichment, with participants exploring new technical and academic methods. The donor project partners used state-of-the-art technical and professional resources. All the required support (administrative staff, procedures and logistics) was provided for the elaboration, submission and implementation of the project.
