Mobility and propensity for mobility are essential to enhance competitiveness, and contributes to building up a knowledge based society where awareness of cultural diversity and traditions is an incentive, rather than an obstacle, to innovation and international cooperation, even talkin’ about a Higher Education Insitution. This why the University of Messina is committed to foster its participation in international programmes of didactic and research, and opt for increasing its quality standard in order to strengthen the international appeal of its academic offer, better off students employability and rise its capacity to attract foreign students, researchers and scholars. UniMe recognizes mobility as a civil right; so, this time we tried to guarantee mobility opportunities to ALL the academic components, using different and easier criteria in selecting beneficiaries, and helping them to face the main obstacle to mobility: language competence. This is also important for an "ancient" University such UniMe is, that constantly developpes its abroad programmes with the final aim to fulfill the University's strategy of teaching innovation, diversity in teaching methods, and interdisciplinary studies, so that UniMe could become such the first choice for anyone abroad wishing to study at a university in Sicily, a country historically evaluated as retarded and barely interested in cultural renewal and competition. From a different point of view, we think that increasing and promoting our experience in European Projects could have a new great role in the number of students who choose to study at our University, thanks to the large number of mobility programmes granted in the past, that allowed many students even to find good jobs or great personal experiences in other Countries. Numbers are clear: in the last years, UniMe worked out to carry on a wide internationalization strategy, and all the efforts made are now starting to be rewarded. From 2013, more than 70 new Bilateral Agreements were signed; the number of students granted for a study experience abroad has constantly grown ( 2013: 99 /2015: about 200 granted outgoing students), just as the number of foreign students hosted, and the same happened for those who were granted for a traineeship experience ( some of them were later assumed by their host institution ). All these motivate and stimulate all our academic community to improve each daily experience of study/work/search with a new consciousness about “being European”, and encourage the sense of personal and professional responsibility among the whole academic community , respecting different rules and habits in order to reach a new collaborative system inside and outside our Institution; and all these, in other words, is a success just for itself.
