Context/background of the project The erasmus+ program participates in the internationalization of the Alfort Veterinary School campus by encouraging incoming and outgoing mobilities both for students and staff. International mobility is a very important aspect of the veterinary curriculum in France because it is compulsory for students to validate at least one mobility of 4 weeks during one of the first 4 years of the curriculum. The period of mobility can either be validated by a placement or a study period. The mobility in the new organisation of the curriculum at Alfort gives the students 8 ects. This is in addition any ects obtained by validating modules during a study period. Objectives The first objective is to allow students to validate the compulsory mobility period abroad and to experience a different system of veterinary education. The second objective is to allow veterinary lecturers to show other faculties how teaching is performed at Alfort and to perform bench-marking in veterinary education. Number and type/profile of participants Eleven mobilities were undertaken during the project. All the mobilities were student mobilities. There were 2 placements and 9 study periods. The majority of the mobilities were undertaken in an English-speaking environment : the UK, Finland, Ireland and an NGO in Greece. The students were 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th year students (1st year students are not allowed to participate in a study period in their 1st year) Description of undertaken activities The students undertook either pre-clinical modules (3 out of 11 mobilities) or clinical rotations (7 out of 11) or a placement (1 out of 11). Results and impact attained All the students validated the activities undertaken during the time spent abroad. The positive feedback from these students to their classmates is one of the main ways in which interest is stimulated in the student population to take part in the eramsus+ program. Longer-term benefits Participate in the European network of Veterinary Schools (The European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE)) via student/staff mobility. Student mobility gives students the opportunity to compare and contrast the veterinary education system between their home country and another European country. Staff mobility enables lecturers to see how other Veterinary Schools organize teaching and can give them new ideas on how to modernize and make more attractive their way of training future veterinary surgeons. In the very long-term erasmus+ through these exchanges will help in harmonizing the veterinary teaching curricula in all European countries.
