The WP for 2015 is structured in 7 categories and is composed of 37 activities. Compared to the previous year there is a stronger emphasis on activities with systemic, rather than individual impact. Particular attention has been paid to the cost-efficiency of the planned activities, as the financial contribution from the Luxembourg Government is expected to decrease by 50%. The structure of the WP is:1 – Statutory activities (act-1 to 6) ensure smooth operation and decision-making processes within the network: The annual meeting of the Board of Directors representing the different stakeholders of the network, the Presidency meetings (which will be proposed to become a Steering Committee), Secretariat meetings for the operational planning and the annual report to report on activities and budgetary matters and evaluate the impact.2 – Quality mobility activities (act-7 to act-11) aim to provide students with a high quality mobility experience by providing additional support, recognition and monitoring. These activities provide a sound basis for more strategic and forward-looking cooperation by building mutual understanding and trust among partners while implementing commonly agreed quality measures.3 – Capacity building activities (act-12 to act-16) are aimed at spreading knowledge on EU programmes and policies, sharing good practices among members and boosting participation of network stakeholders. The Campus Europae Open Space (Act-16) aims at building capacity between stakeholders of universities by having a transversal approach. This category is closely linked with policy dialogue activities.4 – Policy dialogue activities (act-17 to act-24) address the 2015 main policy priorities of the network: how to maintain quality of student mobility while striving for 20% of mobile students by 2020, increasing the attractiveness of the EHEA, opportunities and challenges for internationalisation strategies and the social dimension of student mobility.5 – Project-based activities (act-25 to act-30) aim to provide universities with tools for submitting relevant project proposals by creating synergies among their respective policy priorities. Network members will also run a strategic partnership in Erasmus+ (KA2) in the field of entrepreneurship and dual studies. Additionally, the EUF-CE will launch two online tools facilitating the negotiation of LAs and double/dual degrees, which will feed as well into the ‘Erasmus Without Papers Environment’ (EWP Environment) initiative.6 – Regular dissemination activities (act-31 to act-36): Dissemination activities range from traditional promotion material to the dissemination of higher education news, network and project news and good practices from members via online services (social media, newsletter and website).7 – Online cooperation (act-37): The network will investigate the possibility to invest in a video-conference system in order to cope with the lack of funding and promote the usage of digital tools for strategic and educational cooperation among universities.The WP is part of the long-term strategy in which quality mobility is the key driver: employability and entrepreneurship as main avenues for coping with challenges the European continent faces; digital innovation for governance a way to accelerate knowledge exchange and synergies between institutions; policy innovation as the main avenue for forward-looking initiatives; active citizenship as the goal to be achieved for students.
