Student blended mobility is one of the most challenging but fascinating opportunities of the new Erasmus+ programme. There is strong political will to introduce and popularise this mobility type in the European Higher Education Area, but implementation remains a complex and uncharted task. This workshop will provide participants with first-hand, research-based information about student blended mobility and best practices in Europe. Through simulation exercises, you will gain useful knowledge and skills to overcome the challenges and barriers in the organisation of student blended mobility – and we will share practical insights on how this mobility type can support the strategic aims of your institution.
