Erasmus+ App Conference [Aula Magna, 29/3/22]

The conference of the Erasmus + App – the single point of entry for student mobility, will be held on March 29, 2022.

About the conference:

International offices in higher education institutions are at the core of promoting student mobility and key for the successful mobility journey of the students. The Erasmus+ App can help them in that! The one-day event aims to present what the Erasmus+ App offers to the European Higher Education community with a special focus on how it can further support international mobility. Participants will explore the exciting features the App can offer the higher education community in general and students in particular through learning from first hand experience of successful implementation by HEI and students’ feedback. During the event, participants will also take a glance on the potential of the Erasmus+ App and how it can further serve the community examining  future improvements of E+ mobility management.

During the workshop sessions participants will aim to brainstorm and learn from best practices on how to better engage mobile students in using the App involving representatives of various multiplier groups (e.g. IROs, student organisations) in the discussion. Via a dedicated workshop session HEI experiences on using the App will be presented and exchanged for managing student mobility. Participants are also invited for an interactive brainstorming session to share opinions on the future role and desired functionalities of the App.

All stakeholders are warmly welcome to attend the event with particular focus on the participation of IROs and representatives of potential multiplier organisations.
