Breakout 3: Expanding Access to International Experience: From Mobility for a Few to Opportunities for All

November 25 @ 11:00 - 12:30 CET
About the session

European University alliances can make international learning part of the experience of a much larger and more diverse student community. This session explores how a broader mix of long- and short-term mobility, blended and online learning, internationalisation at home and flexible learning pathways can lower barriers to participation, while remaining environmentally and institutionally sustainable as participation grows.

Central question

How can a European University make internationalisation a realistic part of every student’s education, not only for those who can take part in traditional mobility?

Key questions
  • Which students are still least likely to benefit from traditional mobility, and what stands in their way?
  • How can recognition and administrative processes be simplified so that flexible international experiences are easier to access?
  • How can inclusion and accessibility be built into the design of international opportunities from the outset?
  • What should count as a meaningful international experience for students who do not take part in long-term physical mobility?
