Joint Mobility Office

A common space to promote internationalisation and facilitate the mobilities within the alliance and beyond

Idea

The Transform4Europe Joint Mobility Office provides a common space to promote internationalisation and facilitate the mobilities within the alliance and beyond. It will unify the alliance’s strengths and mainstream proceedings. Furthermore, agile communication within staff members is to lead to a more simplified way of understanding and implementing exchanges and therefore to an increase of mobilities, not only for students, but also for teaching and administrative staff, creating this way an internationalised university community.

Improved, flexible and inclusive mobility framework conditions will establish mobility as the norm both for the students and for staff of our European university. An atmosphere of a global university community will offer plenty of institutional advantages in multiple strands: professional, cultural, academic and linguistic. Likewise, the participants in international mobilities are to acquire new knowledge and approaches, which will improve their skills and competencies.
