Higher education student and staff mobility project
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

This project concerns mobility of students and staff from Bergen University College (HiB) to European institutions and enterprises. In the academic year 2014-2015 HiB sent out 45 students for studies and combined exchanges to 15 different partners, and we had 43 staff exchanges to 16 different institutions and enterprises. Both academic and administrative staff have participated, with a majority of the exchanges being for training. The background of the project is that one of HiBs priority areas in our Internationalisation Strategy is to send out students and staff on exchanges to Europe. The objective is to increase the level of internationalisation of the HiB organisation and to give our students and staff an international experience, as well as to support interaction between staff at HiB and our partner institutions in Europe and facilitate knowledge exchange and sharing of best practice. The international experience will be a valuable attribute of the students? academic degrees and eventually make them more attractive on the labour market. To increase the scope and depth of academic and administrative cooperation with priority partners in Europe, and to strengthen networks with the aim of establishing Strategic Partnerships and other European projects with these partners is also an important objective for the staff exchanges in the project. We also hope that by sending out students and staff, we will attract more incoming mobilities from our European partners. As regards results and impacts, all the students had their mobility period abroad approved and incorporated in their degrees upon their return, and the number of incoming students to HiB in the 2015 autumn semester more than doubled compared to 2014. The staff training exchanges resulted in improved language skills and new perspectives related to their work tasks, and teaching exchanges both contributed to more academic cooperation within networks and research cooperation. In addition, within two academic disciplines, the networks are planning to apply for Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships in 2016.
