More about sessions
The core conference programme, which starts on Thursday afternoon, 17 September, contains over 100 sessions covering a wide variety of topics currently affecting international education. Attendance is included in the conference fee and pre-registration is not required. The conference is built around 11 thematic streams. Most of the sessions have also been assigned to the EAIE Professional Section (PS) or Special Interest Group (SIG) for which they are most relevant. The PS and SIG abbreviations are included after the session titles.
Handouts
In an effort to reduce paper waste at our conference, session organisers will not produce handouts for the sessions. Handouts will be made available on the EAIE website immediately following the conference.

IRM MOPILE Management & organisation IntermediateManaging EU–third country mobility projects in higher educationSaturday 19 September 15.45–17.15
París, floor 1
The European Universities Network Santander Group is an association comprising 36 European
Universities from 16 countries, with 20 years of successful experience in higher education
internationalisation and mobility programmes for students and university staff. The SG has
been involved in numerous projects as a co-ordinator or a partner both in Europe and
worldwide.
The Erasmus Mundus External Co-operation Window Programme (now called ‘Action 2:
Partnerships’ under the new Erasmus Mundus II programme) is a EU funded initiative that
enables incoming and outgoing third country and European students and academic staff to
benefit from the opportunity to study, do research and teach abroad. Consequently,
universities participating in the programme can raise their capacities, build a pole of
expertise and gain international visibility.
In the last EM ECW call as many as 13 SG member universities were selected in 9 different
lots and the Santander Group Network will present this wide and considerable expertise in
the form of a session on good practices in project co-ordination. The session will also be
relevant to EAIE participants in view of anticipated calls for proposals provided by the
European Commission in the coming years.
Programme of the session:
- successful consortia and partnership build-up and management
- application and selection procedures (online tools)
- types of outgoing and incoming mobility and target groups
- management (structure and finances)
- organising meetings (where, when, content)
- efficient communication and dissemination strategies both within and outside the
project consortium
- recognition of degrees and quality assurance
