Thus, we endeavored to participate actively in all the Erasmus+ mobility actions and projects promoting the internationalization as the solution of achieving the new higher education challenges. Through the framework of the Erasmus+ programme the UP offered equal access and opportunities to all the members of the academic community. The target was the increase of students? self-motivation, the inter-disciplinary research, innovation and technology transfer by bringing scientists from Europe and providing opportunities for training to its staff. In addition, the transfer of knowledge and the improvement of the curricula in partner Universities prerequisite the internal upgrade of the courses and ECTS catalogues and enriched the learning outcomes. One of the most significant aspect was to carry out the mobility actions through the on line course catalogues updating and the guidance to all the Erasmus+ participants by providing assistance for obtaining visas (when required), mentoring and support arrangements for rights and commitments, monitoring/renewing the inter-institutional agreements. Furthermore, in order for the UP to ensure that incoming and outgoing participants were well prepared for the mobility, the IRO encouraged them to join the Greek language & civilization courses and participate to the Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support. At this point, it is essential to mention that the University of Patras International Relations Office (IRO) within the collaboration with the ESN UoPA organized meetings about exchanging ideas and experiences between all the Erasmus+ participants. Finally, UP?s membership in international networks/associations in education and innovation promoted the internationalization perceptive within the diffusion of the results in the society and strengthened the partnership between the HEIs. Having in mind the Institutional procedure and the Erasmus+ mobility actions and projects that have been implemented by the UP, it is quite essential to refer to the participants? number increase, the high recognition of academic/administrative performance and the gaining of the first position in Erasmus+ traineeships mobility nationally.
