Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The ENSICAEN has been committed to the European ERASMUS project since its creation. One of the ENSICAEN’s strategic priorities is to assure its position in the national and international socio-economic environment. In terms of international strategy, the ENSICAEN has presented its goals in the Erasmus+ Charter. One of the key aims is to establish strong ties with its partners via double degree programs (EU and outside of the EU) whose development and maintenance necessitate a genuine and lasting exchange between those responsible for education and training and the management of the two establishments. Currently. 10 double degree programs have been signed with European and international universities, and in so doing reinforcing our pedagogic and scientific ties with them. The academic mobility of our students remains fragile, despite our promotion, administrative / financial support, and the obligation to do at least a 3-month mobility internship as part of the engineering curriculum. Our two mobility internships in the framework of the project were provided for; they were conducted at the level of Master 2 (the last year of study at the ENSICAEN). One is for an academic semester at the University of York (UK) and the other in the framework of a double diploma at the Universita Degli Studi de Salerno in Italy. An extremely fruitful collaboration has developed with the Universita Degli Studi di Salerno in Italy, which develops themes very close to ours, notably in the field of information technology. This cooperation began with research exchanges between two professors who then developed it in the field of double diploma education. Each makes yearly visits to the partner university, which guarantees a good promotion of the program, a greater number of mobility internships, and which has started the academic mobility in a double diploma program for an ENSICAEN student. Reciprocally, we have received an Italian student in the double diploma framework. In terms of mobility in training, the ENSICAEN has identified its program and personnel needs. Its international policy has made English training for its administrative personnel and teachers a priority. The administrative and pedagogic support for foreign students and the development of a Masters 2 level course in English requires that personnel reinforce the language skills. Thus, two members of the administrative staff have done a language stay in Great Britain, one at Oxford University and the other at a language school in Brighton, in the framework of the ERASMUS project. In addition, the school started English classes (1 hour per week) for its teachers and administrative staff according to their ability according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Information about mobility training is diffused by email and by ENSICAEN internal mail. Meetings with the people responsible for specialisations have also allowed us make this sort of training known to the teachers; 7 teachers are candidates for a mobility training next year. One teacher carried out a mobility teaching at the Hochshule de Konstanz (Germany) with whom cooperation is flourishing. We highly promoted this sort of mobility to teachers this year and we count on an increased demand. The ERASMUS + project does not include the mobility internship that is a project given by an internship consortium coordinated by the ENSICAEN.
