The University of Limerick organised and coordinated all student (study academic placements and traineeships) as well as staff mobility for teaching and training between UL and partner universities and employers, situated in countries across Europe and worldwide. Increasing short term mobility, PHD's and BIPs were also high on the strategy for this project. The team across UL worked to implement the new components of Erasmus+. This allowed us to target student cohorts that normally would not be able to avail of mobility i.e. students studying a Bachelor Education in Languages who cannot participate in a long duration mobility due to the Irish Teaching Council regulations and requirements. Students from other outlying areas such as Architecture also benefitted from a short term mobility in the early summer months. Mobility is governed, monitored and evaluated in accordance with the principles of the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education. The Erasmus Policy Statement describes UL’s commitment to the programme. This is posted on the UL Global Website - https://www.ul.ie/global/erasmus/charter. In line with our Charter we succeeded in our key priorities to increase the number of students interested and applying to the mobility programme. That increase in interest was noted by the team, from across the University community, however we also noted despite the increase of engagement the number of students with a mandatory mobility, or indeed those who opted in, withdrew from the process at various points in the cycle. A high quality experience was provided by UL via the UL support teams and in relation to their academic experience and their traineeship experience overseas. We focused on providing additional support to inbound students in terms of accessing safe off campus accommodation options. Our messaging to patterns and nominated students was stronger than ever in terms of managing expectations in regard to the accommodation situation in Ireland. From our days to day work with outbound mobility we noted a growing number of students experiencing significant issues while overseas ranging from mental health to emergency dental or hospitalisation. While UL does provide insurance for students, with a 24/7 emergency number to contact, they were not reading this detail. We put together a business case to pay for an APP that included travel tracer (geo tagging functionality) to try and increase support for students on the ground while reducing emergency calls in bound out of hours. We also wanted to ensure that outbound students and their parents felt more at ease given the current issues arising globally. Erasmus engagement continued to also layer up and focus on partners from networks such as the University Alliance EMERGE together with key strategic pathways via the Wild Atlantic Alliance (WAA), YERUN as well as via the European University Foundation network of which UL are an Associate Member. Engagement with partners in Erasmus projects such as TRIP and with the EUI Alliance EMERGE also increased. Working with a small cohort of test partners in the international mobility area such as the UK was also on the agenda as we sought to fund mobilities to international locations. Continued engagement and implementation of our digitisation of mobility via the Move On platform was paramount to our success with all components of the programme. Our project implementation design was a key document for this contract.
