The Erasmus+ programme is intended to be one of the key elements of UMIT?s internationalisation strategy. Through the active participation in European and international exchange programmes for students and teaching staff, UMIT strives to establish suitable partnerships for all subject areas represented at UMIT, and to continue and expand already existing partnerships in order to provide students and employees with advantages in the labour market as well as for their individual career development thanks to competencies acquired thereby. At the same time, our partnerships with European Erasmus+ higher education institutions contribute significantly to the modernisation of the study programmes offered by UMIT and facilitate cross-border cooperation for strategic partnerships, knowledge alliances resp. are the basis for capacity building. In the process, we will strengthen the subject-area-specific international cooperation with our chosen partner universities in Italy, Estonia, Lithuania, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Turkey. The mutual exchange of teaching staff with partner universities augments our internal teaching landscape with new perspectives and teaching methods. Based on these partnerships, also students benefit from the extensive range of courses offered by the chosen higher education institutions. Our cooperation partner for Erasmus+ internships, i.e. Standortagentur Tirol, is a competent partner for our students that can make an essential contribution to the career development of UMIT students and graduates due to its long-standing experience with international companies/ organisations, as well as training and research institutions. As regards staff mobility for teaching, 5 people seized this opportunity during the reporting period. The feedback for these assignments was very positive, experiences gained in this respect were considered as competence-expanding and valuable for one?s career.
