There was a consortium with the CAEB for the SMT students? mobility. o Results and project?s impact, and long-temp benefits too The Erasmus+ mobility programme is a good opportunity to stimulate not only students but also staff, and a basic issue to internationalise the design curriculum, and these are the main impacts according to the EASDIB Erasmus Policy Statement 2014-2020. Maybe, the EASDIB has not increased the number of students? mobility, but for sure it has increased the number of staff?s mobility.
