Mobile student recruitment for lesser-known Erasmus+ destinations: obstacles and strategies

Mobile student recruitment for lesser-known Erasmus+ destinations: obstacles and strategies

Online event for EUF universities

Date: May 16th, 2024, 10:30AM – 12:30PM CEST

Registration is open to Head of International Relation Offices and student mobility officers from EUF network universities.

 

Attracting mobile students poses different challenges depending on the size and location of institutions. When choosing mobility destinations, students tend to opt for universities located in larger cities, which can create an imbalance for smaller universities.

Through this session, we will explore the obstacles faced by lesser-known Erasmus+ destinations in recruiting mobile students, shedding light on the strategies used so far and how they can be replicated by others.

This session will be chaired by Margarita Gonell, International Manager at the Universitat Jaume I.
