Even during and after the mobility, the activities were held regularly between the educational secretariats of Erasmus offices. To participants selected according to criteria relating to merit (exams, grade obtained, credits earned, previous language skills) were offered accurate information on the partner institutions, their educational structure and related services, on the economic and socio-cultural characteristics of the host countries. Where possible, the participant was put in touch with students who have previously benefited from the Erasmus exchanges. These activities were carried out by the Erasmus coordinator and the didactic secretary of Erasmus office. During the activities it was decided to maintain contact with participants outbound communicating regularly with them through email. With students inbound steps were taken to provide: information and booking facilities for accommodation, orientation in the educational structure of the institution (presentation to teachers, mediation in the illustration of educational programs and customization), attention to issues related to psychological adaptation, facilitation in inclusion in the laboratories and in the classroom, involvement in the activities of production of exhibitions and events. Certainly the program has had a positive impact on the process of cultural integration within the student population and teachers, encouraging the exchange request and comparative look on the subjects studied.
