The University of Public Administration and Finance Ludwigsburg (HVF), situated in the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, plays an important role in the local and regional economic and social development by serving as the largest education partner for the public sector. It fosters a vibrant academic and research community that encourages collaboration and personal growth by acquiring new professional, intercultural and personal competencies, skills and knowledge through interaction with students, colleagues, stakeholders and international partners. The internationalisation strategy focuses on a) establishing and maintaining strategic partnerships with European universities and practitioners focusing on priority areas in research and knowledge transfer, b) providing European competencies and intercultural and digital skills to students, c) creating an internationalised learning experience and promoting teachig and studying abroad, d) developing national curricula with relation to international aspects and comparative studies, e) encouraging knowledge transfer between research and practice and increasing competitiveness of the German public authorities and f) addressing global societal challenges and increasing students' employability. Based on these strategic goals we pursued the following aims by implementing the project: 1. To stimulate the innovation processes in Germany through student, teacher and researcher mobility. Due to economic and social demands it proved to be very effective to examine how other countries and public authorities are dealing with EU directives and such issues as digitalization, AI, demographic change and migration. During their internships, HVF students get a chance to learn different approaches and best practices ranging from bureaucracy reduction to improved operational efficiency and integration with new technology which is important to preserve our prosperity and to improve sustainable quality of life. During their short-term mobilities, members of academic staff are involved in research and innovation acitivies of the partner university and share their knowledge and experiences with students and colleagues. Partner universities benefit from a strong practice-orientied experience which help their students explore the practical application of science whereas HVF outgoings are enabled to get a research-orientied and interdisciplinary perspective as well as learn new teaching methods. 2. To increase the number of mobilites and to encourage underrepresented target groups to spend time abroad.Traditionally, students choosing HVF come from the near surroundings and have strong regional roots. Sustainability and orientation towards local, regional and European labour market play an important role both in curricular and extracurricular activities. These demands are also taken into account in the practical training offered by partners abroad where international experience should integrate and reflect local and regional particularities. The graduates should be able to take up work in the public sector which requires both a formal qualification and intercultural and soft skills like resilience, leadership as well as problem-solving ability and innovation skills. Our participation in the Erasmus+ programme is important to achieve the institutional goal to motivate everybody to go abroad despite a rigid curriculum, a specific national learning content and increasing workloads. One of our top priorities was to create an inclusive environment, to ensure accessible and welcoming services for all target groups, to persuade and mobilize doubters and sceptics and to increase diversity among Erasmus+ participants. 3. To promote European identity, solidarity and social engagement. Erasmus+ is an integral part for realizing one of HVF aims, as mentioned in the internationalization strategy, namely to strengthen European and democratic values and to build trust in international relations and science diplomacy. Erasmus+ participants experienced different European cultures, languages and ways of living and working. This gave them the pan-European view as well as local national view, thereby providing an appreciation of the bridges being built in Europe between our different cultures and languages. 4. To strengthen knowledge transfer: HVF encourages its members to paticipate in international conferences and make publications in international journals. Erasmus+ participants gain relevant knowledge and skills for imparting information to non- or less-mobile students and stakeholders and for including research components in the form of BA/MA thesis or student projects. Erasmus+ programme sets proper incentives to encourage faculties to launch international activities by inviting guest lecturers, using English-language materials and attracting internship partners as tutors/supervisors, thus integrating different educational traditions and academic areas into the curriculum.
