Move-IT seminar: Promoting Virtual Support for Mobile Students

On June 10th, the Move-IT team and the Coimbra Group jointly organised a seminar on the topic of virtual & blended mobility in Iasi, Romania at the Coimbra Group Annual Conference. This event included three presentations and two discussion sessions.

First, the speakers introduced the audience to best practice examples of virtual and blended mobilty activities. This was followed by a presentation about the concept of virtual Erasmus. During the discussions the participants got the opportunity to argue a feasible approach to implement virtual support initiatives for exchange students and to discuss what could be the role of the Coimbra Group to implement these strategies. During a second discussion round, the participants shared their thoughts on the possibilities of virtual Erasmus .

The event was attended by 40 participants from 12 countries.
