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

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.
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?
- 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?
