The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) has been cooperating successfully under the Erasmus Programme since 1987. The participation in the Erasmus Programme has throughout the years had an extensive impact on the university’s commitment in terms of internationalisation. From 1989 and onwards the Erasmus Programme has - as an example - formed the basis of the development of a distinctive exchange programme called “Scandinavian Area Studies”. Today, 27 years later, this programme has been further developed into a Minor fully taught in English and as such it still plays a major role in SDU’s Erasmus student exchange. Furthermore, the university has a large number of full degrees taught in English (a total of 12 BA and 67 KA degrees) with a wide range of courses offered for Erasmus+ exchange students. The overall objectives of SDU’s strategy “University of Southern Denmark moving towards 2020” is a continued and an increased focus on internationalisation, holding the implication that the link between the Erasmus+ Programme and SDU’s strategy remains solid and vivid. This year’s (2014/15) activities are characterised by focus on incoming and outgoing student mobility for studies and traineeships, teaching staff mobility, and staff training mobility – all activities firmly anchored in binding collaboration based on partnerships with Erasmus+ partner universities. There has been special attention to establishing attractive schemes and procedures for motivating staff exchange and staff training mobility – both with a very positive result. This year's experience in sending administrative staff abroad on a training period has generated further interest and increased focus on this possibility. There is no doubt that this activity will be developed even further in the years to come, as the internationalisation of staff to a great extent forms a common thread in SDU’s long term strategy and therefore has the full attention of the university management. Under this 2014/16 Erasmus+ project SDU has had a total of 339 outgoing participants - 311 students (234 student mobilities for studies, 77 students mobilities for traineeships) and 28 staff (26 staff mobilities for teaching and 2 staff mobilities for training). It goes without saying that SDU, in line with both the European, the national, and the university's agenda, will work intensively to send an increasingly larger number of students abroad as well as receiving a larger number of incoming students. 2014/15 has for SDU - as the first year of the Erasmus+ programme - also been very focused on disseminating information about the programme and its various possibilites. With a large, new programme this process has been challenging since to a large extent it has been 'learning by doing'. Having said that, it has also been a very positive process and experience. The many possibilities and diverse actions are now well known throughout the institution. The challenge remains that participants in the programme, actual and potential, students as well as staff, are somewhat overwhelmed by the large amount of administrative procedures and substantial paperwork required. The short and long term impacts of the mobility activities for students are – as far as we learn from the future employers (companies and stakeholders) – that an international exchange stay for studies or traineeship boosts the students employability, their intercultural awareness, their competences in foreign languages, their willingness to be mobile on the international job market, and their job readiness in general. For the following Erasmus+ years the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) plans a further reinforcement of its activities within the programme in order for the university both to comply with the European Erasmus+ and modernisation agenda and to act in accordance with the university's overall strategy.
