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

The 2014 project constitutes the second participation in the Erasmus program by ESA Réunion and, similair to last year, on can observe an strong interest from the part of the students and staff to engage in it. Thus, 9 Master 1 students (2 for the duration of 2 semestres, 7 for the duration of 1 semester), 4 professors et 2 administrative staff have benefited from financial and organisational support for projects of study, teaching and training mobility in partner institutions. The 2014 project focuses, on the one hand, on a consolidation of already activated partnerships (Norwich, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liège, Valence), on the other, on a initialization of existing but not yet active partenerships (Turin) as well as a launch of new cooperations(Brussels, Vienna). To foster existing partnerships and to open up progressively towards new coopérations is currently being pursued for the 2015 project, with new partner schools in Norway, Iceland and Spain. In the medium term, ESA Réunion, in its relational role North-South, South-South, would also like to subscribe to the international mobility of crédits in order to permit a (re)investment of extra-European partnerships, especially in the Indian Ocean Zone (South-Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, India) through the Erasmus + program. Given the different feedbacks, both coming from persons of reference in the partner institutions with whom we work in close concertation, and from the participants themselves, on can observe a very positive account with regard to a programme which has turned out to be an essential tool of widening the (intellectual, cultural, artistic, linguistic...) horizon of our European and French Higher Education Institution on the geographical island periphery, with a student public coming from a background traditionnally not very inclined to international mobility, and a very dynamic academic staff (with mobility experience having been part of their career so far for many among them) whose need for input from continental Europe is real. Having welcomed at ESA Réunion, in 2014-15, students (Karlsruhe, Hamburg, Oviedo, Liège) and staff (Cardiff, Brussels, Nottingham) from partner institutions which have vitalized the school in various ways (exhibitions, conférences, workshops, seminars...) shows that this positive account with regard to the Erasmus programme is reciproqual. There is no doubt that the 2014 project has allowed to energize once again the institution in its totality and has contributed to enhance the qualityand pertinence of its pedagogical offer as well as the student and professional trajectory of the different actors involved.
