With this SCALA XIIII project we were able to support our long Mobility strategy, built up in our SCALA I - SCALA XIII projects. In SCALA XIII we build on experiences that we have built upon in the past. The Erasmus+ subsidy is part of our Aeres strategy to increase international experience for staff and students. The aim is to significantly increase the nummer of student and staff applications that choose to follow an international mobility. On the other hand a huge number of students cannot independently afford an international internship/mobility and that is the reason why we apply for the subsidy in order to allow students and teachers the opportunity to take part in an international experience that they otherwise would not be able to follow. Next to that we can build further on our international ambitions as Aeres MBO. Erasmus + really support these ambitions.
