Since Erasmus+ was launched in 2014, Université de Rennes 1 (henceforth referred to as « UR1 ») has pursued its commitment to informing students and staff of the higher education mobility programme. The Erasmus+ programme is not only aimed at funding mobility, but it is the opportunity to build long-lasting, quality relationships with European partners. We share the same mobility framework, and that allows us to think in terms of the quality of the curricula offered to exchange students, selection criteria and teaching methods which allow us improve exam success rates. Staff mobility, funded by STA or OM budgets, allows teachers, or teaching staff and students, in partner institutions to meet. Very often, partner institutions allow the staff at UR1 to meet the companies it collaborates with, which can in turn open up placement opportunities for students interested in work placement mobility, and also create a link between academic training and the economic sector. In terms of budget, UR1 has chosen to offer a higher grant rate than that calculated by the Erasmus+ agency. Most students wishing to take part on a mobility programme have limited financial means and the level of financial incentive should be sufficient to trigger mobility. Therefore, the number of student beneficiaries is lower than initially forecast in the convention, but the grant allocation per student is higher. As a reminder, the budget allocated to UR1 for the university year 2014-2015 was 506 446 euros, which included a line in the budget for the organization of mobility (OM) of 78 600 euros. Actual mobility is set out below: • Work placement mobility (SMP): 21 including 2 non-beneficiaries, for 3 months • Study mobility (SMS): 292 including 75 non-beneficiaries, for 7 months on average (forecast mobility: 305 for 8 months). • Teaching mobility (STA): 36 (forecast mobility: 44) • Training mobility (STT : 8 (forecast mobility: 2) A significant increase in the OM budget has allowed the funding of: • a complete reworking of the institutional website in English, keeping students and international partners better informed, • French courses offered to exchange students, • new communication materials (brochures, websites) aimed at international students, • mobility for prospecting English-speaking universities, to offer students destinations which have courses in English, a necessary condition for many students wanting to move, • training mobility (STT) in Europe for non-teaching staff, • welcoming partner university staff during the Erasmus+ international week organized in May 2015. The impact of the 2014-15 project can be measured at several levels: • The increase in the OM budget has allowed prospecting of new European partners, including businesses for work placements, which is considered a very positive impact. • The use of mobility management software, with user training partly financed by the OM budget, allowing UR1 to bring the International Affairs offices of its faculties, schools and institutions together around the International Affairs Department (henceforth referred to as “DARI”). This will allow us to unify our internal work practices around Erasmus and to pursue our work on measuring the impact of the programme on students, and in particular the impact in terms of employment and skills development. Moreover, cultural activities combining the different participants develops knowledge of European and regional culture.
