The Newman Institute is situated in Uppsala, the oldest university town in Scandinavia. It is an autonomous, young Jesuit college, founded in 2001, and it is the only Catholic university college in the Nordic countries. Since 2010, the Institute is accredited by the Swedish Government for granting a Bachelor’s degree in theology, including also philosophy and cultural studies. International cooperation and strategies for internationalisation form the basis of its milieu for higher education are important, and the Institute is part of a wide network of Jesuit institutions for higher education. With theology and philosophy as its core competencies, the Institute is especially interested in the relationship between religion and science and the phenomenon of religious secularisation that marks the countries of Northwestern Europe. The Jesuit character of the Newman institute expresses itself in the international dimension of all our work, in the ongoing intellectual dialogue with the surrounding culture, and in the willingness to contribute to the development of the society in which we live. A central part of the mission of the Newman Institute is to integrate student and staff mobility into its educational programme. Teachers at the Newman Institute are encouraged to have taught or undergone training at an institution abroad. To further the mobility of both students and staff, the Newman Institute has at present several agreements in place with partners abroad. More precisely , since 2014, an informal group of five different university colleges of similar size from North Western Europe, including The Newman Institute, within the field of theology and philosophy was created. The idea was to further maybe create a consortium between these five institutions.This was one of the main motives for us to start with the concrete application for mobilities. The focus was at the beginning on staff mobilities, both teaching and training. The reason that we focused on staff was that we wanted to create an exchange between our "consortium" partners in order to make use of each others professional and teaching experiences and getting to know each other better. As we did not have experience from Erasmus exchange programmes before, we refrained from at that time, to apply for funds for student mobilities. Apart from having inter-institutional agreements with our "consortium" partners, we also signed inter institutional agreements with other universities with whom we had had a working relationship before. The numbers of outgoing staff was rather limited, 2 but we had better results with incoming staff, 3, however we also welcomed 2 students from our partner universities. During the academic year 2016 we welcome altogether 5 Erasmus+ students, of which 3 belong to another category (Erasmus+ mobility with partner countries) . We alsp had a number of incoming visiting professors, giving guest lectures in topic we could not offer ourselves. The concrete mobilities we have undertaken and who left both participants and institutions generally satisfied, helped us to become a more international institution. Our foreign students give an important added value to our institution as they help our Swedish students and staff alike to widen their world view and to learn to see their life and their academic studies from a different angle. Likewise our foreign students have had the possibility to learn "the Swedish way" and to widen their horizon when it comes to living and studying in another country. Generally our experience with the mobilities are in line with our internationalisation strategies when it comes to quality, but we can and have to do more to promote the project and increase quantities. this is an important part on our agenda.
