The Erasmus+ KA 131 project is very important for the HWR Berlin as a university with a focus on its diverse connections in Europe and around the world, because the programme acts as an internationalisation measure for the university both within and outside Europe. The project results have an impact beyond the project period and support sustainable cooperation between the project partners, thus promoting innovation in Europe. Institutions networked in this way act as a forum for social dialogue and are able to bring the added value of a European dimension to local debates, while at the same time internalising and conveying European values. The HWR Berlin hopes to achieve the following positive effects: strengthening the European identity of students, deepening and strengthening the relationship between project partners, and facilitating a stable and predictable expansion of cooperation. Furthermore, the programme increases the attractiveness for students and employees, creates capacity and promotes innovation in teaching and learning methods. HWR Berlin hopes to see qualitative improvements at all levels of education and increased visibility at regional, national and global level. Continuous process optimisation and modernisation of infrastructure and communication are inherent in the ongoing development of its project implementation performance. In doing so, it aims to ensure that the collaboration leads to sustainable and relevant results for all project partners. The increasing mobility of students and lecturers, as well as participation in international cooperation projects, enhances the quality of the courses offered and the study experience for students and lecturers at the HWR and its project partners – while also improving its reputation and international standing. By networking all persons and institutions directly and indirectly associated with the HWR Berlin, the programme contributes to the dissemination and expansion of knowledge for both university members and other participants. Encounters between people from different cultural backgrounds and sustainable networking strengthen the European and global dimension. Competences are built up and internationality is lived out deep into the departments and administration. All partners use Erasmus to increase their efficiency in education, research and innovation in close cooperation with public administration institutions, social initiatives, business and industry. This enables HWR Berlin to strategically position itself globally as an institution with effective models, offering international, innovative and dual study programmes as an educational concept, thereby increasing demand and exporting its models. Participants interact in a different language and culture, which contributes to their personal development and stimulates discussions about international aspects of higher education and the relevant field of study. Technical, intercultural and linguistic skills are developed while prejudices are broken down – the project thus has a peace-building effect. Following the mobility of teachers, a strengthening of the connection in the partnerships and the development of joint sustainable activities and joint study programmes were observed. Innovations in training and entrepreneurship are growing and meeting the demands of the modern labour market. A study by Campus International shows that a study-related stay abroad has been proven to increase general and multicultural self-efficacy as well as individual adaptability – and thus employability. The incoming students create a unique international campus that also benefits those who are unable to be mobile. Incentives for people with fewer opportunities also encourage students who would otherwise not be mobile to participate in mobility activities. At the HWR Berlin, for example, just under 43% of students stated that they were first-generation academics, approximately 11% had a chronic illness or physical/mental impairment, around 6% were parents and around 61% were in employment (BintHo 2024). This is reflected in the funding balance in the area of fewer opportunities.
