Movinter - Enhancing Virtual Mobility to foster institutional cooperation and internationalisation of curricula


Description

The project aims to contribute to increase cooperation and structural link among Higher Education Institutions of Europe and Latin America through an in-depth exploration of the potential of ICT -and particularly Virtual Mobility -to internationalise curricula and learning experiences.

In order to achieve this MOVINTER will :

  • Review literature, legislation, regulations, policies and best practices in the field;
  • Elaborate and validate with experts an action plan to exploit virtual mobility and ICT for international cooperation;
  • Design a Modelling Engine aimed to support the capacity of HEIs to design and implement an integrated use of Virtual Mobility to enhance internationalisation of study experiences, curricula and academic titles;
  • Create the EU-LA MOVINTER Stakeholders community of leading practitioners, policy and decision makers and researchers;
  • Animate policy dialogue in the field;
  • Disseminate project results and elaborate a transferable model to other contexts and fields so to ensure the sustainability of the action.

The main long-term outcomes will be:

  • the MOVINTER Modelling Engine providing tools and prototype services to support academic institutions in the exploitation of ICT and virtual mobility as means to foster international cooperation.;
  • the MOVINTER White Paper containing a Roadmap and recommendations on how to exploit the potential of ICT and Virtual Mobility to improve the nature and the effectiveness of international academic cooperation;
  • the MOVINTER Stakeholders Community gathering experts, researchers, policy and decision makers and practitioners interested in

implementing VM strategies to increase international cooperation

The target groups are:

  • European and Latin American HEIs;
