About

What does Mobility Consortium mean?

It coordinates the mobility activities within Higher Education Institutes which join the project, promotes strategic alliances between HEIs and the labor market, offers more opportunities for traineeships, training, teaching, and study mobility abroad.

​

The tasks of a Consortium are many:

  • to guarantee support to partners in sharing its know-how and network;

  • to exchange good practices for a more streamlined Erasmus Plus mobility;

  • to organize meetings with new partners;

  • to follow all the necessary procedures for sending participants in an Erasmus+ mobility abroad.                                                         

International mobility is also understood by both students and lecturers as an important opportunity to create new networks of contacts and academic relationships useful for the development of new projects and collaborations.

 

The SuedNord-Consortium was created in 2014 as part of the Cultural Association DpR and has been operating thanks to its third Erasmus+ Accreditation (2021-2027) for the eighth year. It certainly acts as a facilitator of mobility activities, thus complementing the work that individual institutions (Universities, Academies, Conservatories of Music, Institution in the field of Tourism and Foreign Languages) already do through Key Action 131 Projects, having already obtained the ECHE, i.e., the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education. 

​

It creates synergies between different actors within private and public institutions, shares as well teaching and methodological competencies as its networking for traineeships and trainings; it helps the encounter between Academics and working people, very different worlds but similar in their research intent for professional themes.

​

The SuedNord-Consortium offers a further opportunity to redistribute scholarships for mobility and first work experience in the form of a paid internship abroad also for recent graduates within one year from their final dissertation. 

​

It broadens scholarship opportunities for students who can afford more grants for a study or traineeship mobility abroad or for teachers for teaching or training mobility or for staff for training mobility, mainly in Europe (Programme Countries)* but also in other countries (Partner Countries) all over the world.

Enhancing Opportunities

The various activities, which also make use of the linguistic skills provided by targeted academic training, also make it possible to follow students or staff in the orientation and reception processes. The network acquired over the years of working alongside HEI offers the Consortium an excellent basis for developing the projects and EU-projects and, therefore, for providing all the participating institutions with valid support.

 

Every single partner participates actively in enhancing these opportunities. The serene and harmonious management undertaken until now makes us believe that the work carried out so far is positive and should be continued.

​

This aim is supported by the strong motivation of wanting to achieve internationalization and an increasingly intense Europeanisation, a need that seems particularly useful at this historical juncture in which conflicts between cultures and religions have grown. The enlargement of the European Union has certainly created a greater contribution of cultures and linguistic differences, these differences are considered an enrichment for the Member States, but they must be known and experienced above all by those who move in a non-provincial sphere, in a sphere that seeks transversal competences and cultural exchanges.

 

Therefore, the Consortium is working to further stimulate international mobility, a constant exchange of ideas and views with the partners and a prompt orientation that passes through virtual communication are the most effective tools that the Consortium has equipped itself with. This work has yielded excellent results to date and is expected to continue to do so. The network of contacts and exchanges is constantly growing, and the Consortium is now able to provide many contacts for internships aimed at graduate and undergraduate students, which could also represent a real springboard for future employability.

​

The Erasmus mobility has made up of many different steps. All those steps require a strong synergy among partners; therefore, each coordinator has to manage the whole working with a specific tactic and with a long-term strategy. The long experience gained over all these years of intense activity in the matter helps to better organize the different administrative activities and the communication path with all the actors, i.e.: students, staff, HEs, international organizations, Erasmus offices, and so on.
