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

The University of Salento pursues the strategic goal of the orientation of university study pathways towards European integration and the free circulation of professionals. This is accomplished through the promotion of curricula embedding mobility experienceds within universities, companies and enterprises, that are fully recognised at the end of the mobility period. This action - along with a widespread promotion undertaken within each Department – has resulted in a bit higher ratio in incoming as well as outgoing student mobility, both within the framework of Erasmus+ and in other European programmes (Erasmus Mundus 2009-2013, etc.). Students selected on the basis of suitable “Call for applicants” have been guided, first of all, towards a careful choice of their destination (university or company) and an accurate preparation of their Learning agreement in order to obtain the best learning/training outcomes for an optimal professional and career development. Erasmus+ mobility opportunities have been used by students of all study programs offered at our University with particular reference to the Department of Languages. Almost all of them have used both study and traineeship opportunities with a full mobility experience. After their traineeship mobility period, around 10% of the interns received a concrete recruitment proposal from the same company, a proposal for a Ph.D. Scholarship or any form of distance cooperation. Generally speaking, traineeship experiences are really useful for students to get job or research proposals within few months after graduation. Staff mobility, on the other side, has facilitated the cooperation with foreign partner Universities towards the design and the implementation of joint study programs awarding joint/multiple degrees. As a matter of fact, these innovative educational pathways have emerged from cooperation relationships between study programs with a deep-rooted experience of mobility and mutual recognition of credits and learning outcomes.
