Here’s a look at how each of these new initiatives, funded under Erasmus+, are set to drive meaningful change across Europe’s higher education landscape.

REX: Reimagining the Erasmus Experience

Revitalizing Student Mobility with Modern Perspectives. As the appeal of student mobility faces challenges in today’s educational landscape, the REX project re-engineers the student experience in choosing a mobility destination. REX investigates factors influencing students’ perception of mobility through literature reviews, surveys, and focus groups. It also explores the use of VR technology to make destination selection more interactive. By aligning mobility opportunities with students’ evolving needs and preferences, REX aims to make studying abroad a compelling, and fulfilling choice once again.
