Goals Stenden provides Erasmus+ grants to students and staff for mobility within Europe. This is handled at a central level by the Student Mobility Centre for all the Schools (faculties) and departments of Stenden. This concerns outgoing students in study exchanges and traineeships, for employees of Stenden it concerns outgoing guest lecturers and employees who follow a training or visit a partners. The fundamental idea is to award Erasmus+ grants to as many students and staff members as possible, where students who go the country of their origine have low priority: a minimum grant is award to these students only if they receive no or a very low traineeship salary. In the case of staffmobility, activities in the framework of structural cooperation has been given priority. Number of participants and activities A number of 177 students followed a traineeship in 14 different countries, of which more than half of the placements took place in Germany and the United Kingdom. The average duration of traineeships was 7 months. This duration is on average almost a month shorter than planned, the number of traineeships is almost the same as the planned number. In this project 132 students took part in an exchange to 16 different countries, the range is wider compared to trainees: almost 40% goes to Spain and the United Kingdom, in addition Finland, Sweden and Turkey are jointly responsible for 35% of the exchanges. On average students are in an exchange for a little more than 4 months. The actual average duration is a little bit shorter than the planned duration, the number of realised traineeships however is 25% higher than the planned number. Because the traineeships were shorter than planned, this budget could be used for the growth in numbers at exchange: over 30.000 of the budget for traineeships is used for exchange. A total of 11 teachers have taught at partner universities in 5 countries, Finland was the most common destination and the visits lasted a little over 7 days on average. The planned duration of 6 days was a little bit shorter and the planned number was lower: the realization shows a number that nearly doubled. The number of training activities and partner visits of staff members was 70, 14 countries were visited, where the destinations Finland and Norway were responsible for half of the mobilities. A visit lasted almost 6 days on average, this was a little bit longer than planned. The number of visits was 65% higher than the planned number. To finance the extra guest lectures, partner visits and training activities, part of the budget for Organisation Support is used, namely more than 29.000. Of course this still meets the requirement that a maximum of 50% can be used for Erasmus+ grants. Impact and long term benefits Mobility is a fundamental part of education at Stenden and has been described as such in the institutional plan. Impact of student and staff mobility is both seen on a personal as on a professional level, participants look at most elements positively. Elements that score less positive are assistance on visa and insurance, Course Catalogue, accommodation and grant payments. For the last three points improvements have already been implemented, for the assistance on visa and insurance management of expectations is necessary. Next to that this project has consequences for the organization: through international mobility and the contacts and shared knowledge as a result of this, other ways of cooperation with partners such as joint programmes, joint research and broadening of exchange arise.
