The project set out to enhance the quality and relevance of education and professional practice by enabling meaningful learning and working experiences in international academic and industrial environments, and by bringing those results back into teaching, research and institutional management. Our aim was to fulfil the principles of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and to advance the programme’s priorities on inclusion and diversity, digital transformation, sustainability, and participation in democratic life. More specifically, we wanted to: 1. Increase benefits for students – deepen disciplinary knowledge, practical skills and employability through study periods and especially traineeships; strengthen language and intercultural competencies; and ensure fair and timely academic recognition upon return. 2. Bridge education with research and innovation – place doctoral candidates in real research teams and industrial ecosystems so that they acquire methods, data practices, safety and open science standards, and bring back tangible outputs that can be used at home. 3. Build staff capacity – enable teaching and administrative staff to acquire new pedagogical and professional practices, share good practice with international partners, and translate it into courses, support services and internal processes. 4. Advance the digital transition – expand blended formats and intensive programmes, develop participants’ advanced digital skills, and further digitalise mobility management so that processes are faster, more transparent and less burdensome. 5. Support the green transition – encourage sustainable travel where feasible and transfer sustainable laboratory and operational practices experienced at host institutions into our teaching and day-to-day operations. 6. Broaden inclusion and equal access – remove practical barriers for participants with fewer opportunities by offering guidance, financial instruments and reasonable adjustments, and by using short-term and combined formats where longer stays are not possible. 7. Strengthen the European dimension and civic skills – provide everyday experience of European values, increase interest in participation in academic and local communities, and develop more than language proficiency, including a deeper understanding of the European space. 8. Grow institutional capacity for international cooperation – develop partnerships in Europe and beyond in a targeted way, choose destinations by academic added value and safe mentoring environment, and improve internal coordination so that mobility results feed into curricula, methodologies and services. 9. Improve communication and dissemination – provide clear and empathetic information for outgoing and incoming participants, standardised procedures for partners, and peer-to-peer sharing so that good practice becomes the norm rather than an individual achievement. Through these objectives, we intended to deepen educational quality, strengthen the link with practice and research, and increase our university’s long-term capacity to cooperate at the European and international level. The underlying ambition was to turn mobility from a one-off experience into a driver of lasting change in participants’ competencies, in teaching, and in institutional processes.
