	~~The goal of the EU-VIP project is to enhance international~~ work placements ~~throught~~ the ~~use~~ of ~~new technologies. Work placements can play an important role in the knowledge transfer between~~ higher education ~~institutions~~ and ~~the business community~~. ~~In a global economy it is also becoming more and more important to introduce students to an~~ international ~~working environment during their education.

International work placements or internships, as they are generally known, are gaining more and more importance in the context of internationalization of higher education and globalization of our (professional) world. Traditional international work placements, where the learner travels to the company abroad, are not always feasible for all students because of financial, geographical, social or other reasons. For those physical placements abroad that do happen, there are also a number of difficulties to overcome, mainly related to a lack of communication between the student, the foreign company and the institution for higher education.

	The EU-VIP project ~~will design (technological~~, ~~pedagogical, organisational) models~~ and ~~services for:~~		[[Virtual mobility]], or ICT-supported interaction to realize international collaboration, offers possibilities to address these issues. The EU-VIP project looked at how virtual mobility can support or even enable international work placements and addressed the three stakeholders that are involved in an international work placement: the higher education institution, the student and the receiving company or organization. To this end 19 pilot projects were executed.

	~~- virtual mobility activities to prepare and follow-up students for a stay abroad and to sustain the experience after they return;~~

	~~- fully virtual placements.~~

	The HEIs involved have established links with companies, ensuring available work placements to set up pilots to test out the different models. End-users (students, teachers and company representatives) are trained in the use of new technologies for organising (virtual) work placements. They are also brought together at regular meetings to identify (dis)advantages of the models, critical success factors, quality indicators, evaluation criteria.		== Outcomes ==

New page

The ''Enterprise-University Virtual Placements'' ('''EU-VIP''') project was selected in 2009, and funded from 1 October 2009 until 30 September 2011 by the European Commission, under the Lifelong Learning Programme - Erasmus - Multilateral projects - Co-operation between Universities and Enterprise.

The EU-VIP web site is at http://euvip.eu

== Summary ==

The goal of the EU-VIP project is to enhance international work placements throught the use of new technologies. Work placements can play an important role in the knowledge transfer between higher education institutions and the business community. In a global economy it is also becoming more and more important to introduce students to an international working environment during their education. When students do go abroad for a work placement, the integration of this placement in the curriculum is not always optimal. Furthermore, there are also students who, for financial, geographical or social reasons, do not have the possibility to go abroad.

The EU-VIP project will design (technological, pedagogical, organisational) models and services for:

- virtual mobility activities to prepare and follow-up students for a stay abroad and to sustain the experience after they return;

- fully virtual placements.

The HEIs involved have established links with companies, ensuring available work placements to set up pilots to test out the different models. End-users (students, teachers and company representatives) are trained in the use of new technologies for organising (virtual) work placements. They are also brought together at regular meetings to identify (dis)advantages of the models, critical success factors, quality indicators, evaluation criteria.

== Expected outcomes ==

A guidebook (online and printed) will collect all results and will provide concrete, validated procedures, guidelines and recommendations. All training materials will also be published online so they can be used independently by other interested HEIs and companies who wish to engage in (virtual) work placements.
