Despite cancellations by participants and receiving partners, ABAR06 was able to achieve 99-100% planned mobilities in 3 of 4 categories: SMS (23) ; SMT (5); STA (8). STTs pose a specific kind of problem: they are a burden on the receiving institution, rarely accepted except as personal favours, however much we need to exchange best pratices. The Erasmus offices I have seen up close are always much too overwhelmed by work to take on any colleague training. More generally, especially at IROMA06, OS is greatly lacking and, having been appointed Erasmus Coordinator on 1/1/15, I have for all intents and purposes been alone and working 400% unpaid overtime to ensure proper functioning and to expand and extend our activities. I am happy to report that since 1/1/15, we have an increase in quantity and quality of mobilities: Quantity: bilateral agreements have been doubled; the variety of partner countries greatly extended; new activities have been implemented (outgoing STTs for the first time here); more incoming STAs. This has required several information days destined to students, incoming and outgoing, to clarify and systematize procedures. Quality of our Erasmus mobilities has also greatly improved: more rigorous selection of incoming and outgoing based in part on linguistic capacities and relevance of project; orientation days have not only increased numbers of participants but also to ensure a smooth and efficacious period of study or work abroad. Greater flexibility in credit recognition (by packets) but stricter academic requirements have encouraged students to make the most of their Erasmus experience. A number of lectures in English in 2014 2015 have further made it possible for students and professors, local and foreign, to better exchange, teach and learn. The result has been a better educational community and the internationalization of our institution, regardless of a very difficult national context for institutions of higher learning and research in the arts. I believe that the long-term benefits of these effective changes will be a greater harmonization of administrative practices across programme countries, respectful of national and local habits in the field of arts education. The first element to have helped is the MTool: despite numerous “bugs” which have caused loss of time and efficiency, it has proven ultimately helpful in verifying numbers (with internal administration) and disseminating information (to National Agency and EC). Using the EU forms rather than national-language forms has also greatly facilitated communication and proper functioning amongst Erasmus officers. One would wish all HEIs to adopt these official, identical forms. And all Erasmus offices to be aware of the rules regarding credit mobility, certificates of arrival and departure: lack of information given to students before coming to IROMA06, even when guidelines for application and period of study are given in advance, is confusing to students and unnecessary work to Erasmus Coordinators. On the whole, the 2015 project marks an increase – sharper than in previous years – of mobilities and an increasing transparency in practices. Budget amounts, particularly for SMS and OS are insufficient. One might wish for greater harmonization between Erasmus offices procedurally and administratively, and a clear official document of Erasmus Coordinators duties, responsibilities in order to protect ECHE in countries still undergoing modernization.
