SUMIT – Supporting Mobility Through ICT

1 November 2006 – 31 October 2007

Summary

The SUMIT project aimed at supporting the objective of 3.000.000 Erasmus students by 2011 through the organisation of a seminar on virtual aspects related to mobility in one of the new member states (University of Warsaw, Poland).
The SUMIT partnership envisaged setting up a seminar which highlighted and exchanged best practices on virtual aspects related to mobility during three stages: before, during and after (mobility). The objective was to show universities in the targeted countries how ICT can be used to enhance the quality of the student and the university experience of exchange, which, eventually, will help to increase numbers (in and out) of Erasmus students. The main activity of the project consisted in the organisation of the seminar as such targeted towards university staff involved in International Relations, Erasmus Coordination, e-Learning, libraries and IT services as well as to student associations.
The outcomes of the seminar were published in the conference proceedings: “Enhancing Student Mobility In A Digital World. Sharing experiences in An Enlarged Europe”.
