Objectives

The project helped the continuous implementation of the internationalization policy of the Polytechnic University of Castelo Branco (IPCB), focusing on the international mobility of students, teaching-staff and staff. The mobility initiatives also contributed significantly to the successful application for the EU European Universities (ERASMUS+) funding line, with the IPCB joining the "BAUHAUS4EU European University Alliance" consortium. Following the project's approval and launch, the project also contributed to achieving the project's recommended indicators. The project's implementation was based on existing partnerships between the IPCB and several European partners with whom it has maintained cooperative relationships over the years, as well as the establishment of new partnerships. The project focused on achieving the objectives of the Erasmus action (KA1), such as increasing the attractiveness of EU higher education and supporting the internationalization and modernization of HEIs in a global context. The partner HEIs have previously agreed and committed to these objectives, including them in their internationalization strategies, in line with the principles that guide the European higher education area and especially with the ECHE, focusing on the importance of knowledge transfer, applied research, recognition of skills and connection with the labour market.
