Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Medical University- Plovdiv is an active participant in Erasmus+ Programme and has 98 signed inter-institutional agreements with 93 Universities from 21 Programme Countries. Mobilities are realized mainly in Universities in Portugal, Grermany, France, Estonia, Turkey, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Slovak Republic and Lithuania. During the academic year contacts are maintained with these Universities and there is a strict algorithm for administrative services for incoming and outgoing mobilities. The number of the mobilities for the project period granted on the basis of the signed contract between Medical University-Plovdiv and HRDC, the nominated National Agency for Bulgaria for the European Commission (EC) under the "Erasmus +" Programme is 59. For the period of the project 31 staff mobilities and 23 student mobilities are accomplished in Universities in Programme countries. This represents over 91% of the contracted numbers. The outgoing staff mobilities prevail over the student mobilities (57%/43%). In the first group the staff mobility for teaching dominate over the staff mobility for training. For the outgoing student mobilities the number of mobilities for traineeships prevail to the number of the student mobilities for studies due to the significant differences in the study programs in the European Universities. The number of the incoming students in Medical University- Plovdiv under the Erasmus+ Programme is increased and for the project period our University hosted 36 Erasmus + students. The number of the outgoing Erasmus+ students is 23, which exceeds the contracted number which is 22. The incoming students under the Erasmus+ Programme in Medical University- Plovdiv have the same rights as full-time students at our University. The main activities before the beginning of the mobility period and after the end of the mobility period are described. In June 2015 for the first time Medical University-Plovdiv hosted the First Erasmus + Staff Training Week, which was attended by colleagues from seven universities in programme countries. The participation of Medical University-Plovdiv in Erasmus+ Programme provides a positive impact not only on students and teachers in our University, but also on the incoming undergraduate and post graduate students. The policy of Medical University-Plovdiv is in harmony with the requirements of the Erasmus+ Programme and modernization requirements of learning and teaching process in Europe. Proof of this is the highest score that we have received over the past four years from our National Agency which monitors the activities of Erasmus+ Programme. Medical University-Plovdiv intends to continue and expand its cooperation under the Erasmus+ Programme with universities in programme and partner countries- Ukraine, Armenia, Israel and Columbia. This collaboration provides a real opportunity for our students and teachers to learn about another University and to gain and enrich their experience in the acquisition of knowledge and skills, to expand their competences and work in a multicultural environment. For the participants from Programme countries (students and teachers) the mobility under the Erasmus + Programme will enable them to acquire knowledge and enrich their experiences, to feel the European values and the fundamentals in training in the field of Medical Sciences.
