The qualitative and quantitative targets of the plan in accordance with the Subsidy Contract and the Erasmus Map for the Tertiary Education were accomplished successfully, and have constituted a solid base for the prospects and the further evolution of the Program on the operational and academic level. The Erasmus+ Program was treated institutionally on the decision level concerning the selection of people moved, the transparency, the equal treatment, the development of the fund for the mobility organization in accordance both with the terms of the Program and our national legislature, as well, and the safeguarding of the benefit which is received both from participants and our Institution, having as a result the existence of an intense activity within the University community through discussions and interaction between all its members. The Program of the Erasmus+ Practical Training was actually entered as a main topic in the everyday agenda; in relevant collective bodies, subjects were discussed concerning quality upgrading and formulation of strategies for its future both in our University as well as in collaboration with Universities, Technological Institutions, and the representatives of local governance that comprise the Group. Indicatively, we report the organization of day conferences for the promotion of the Program, the informative day conferences, the dissemination of information through modern means (electronic governance – Skype – Blog – Site - Facebook – e-mail), the traditional approach of target groups through live contact, cultural manifestations, posters, regular meetings with our partners, and the introduction and promotion of the Group to other Institutions and Social partners (manifestation for Practical Training and introduction of the Group to the Technological Institution of Piraeus) as well as the establishment of international relations both to the benefit of the Institution and our country, as well (Memorandum of Cooperation with the Theological School in Halki). The Institutions of the Group for Practical Training, and primarily the Panteion University as Group leader, support the organization and operation of the programs for Practical Training of students having as primary targets:
1. The improvement of the quality of Practical Training and its expansion to all fields of study of educational programs both of Panteion University and our partners, as well.
2. The development of the relationship of the labor market with University Institutions.
3. The development of the necessary conditions for the placement of both students and graduates with enterprises and organizations which has as a result the creation of new jobs, and by extension, the limitation of unemployment, the promotion of employability, and the support of actions that connect students with the labor market through the educational procedure, the simultaneous improvement of sciences, the exchange of knowledge and experience, and the development of dexterities.
4. The further development of Practical Training in the framework of the Erasmus + Program, and activities for the promotion and spreading of the Program having as target the increase of mobility for practical training.
5. Finding positions for practical training and development of contacts with enterprises.
6. Broadening of the impact that practical training has on participants which finally affects the formulation of national and European policies and practices.
