New Mobility Formats

To promote more inclusive forms of mobility, including in the area of Internationalisation at Home, students and local stakeholders work together at the annual Forum for Innovative Mobilities to develop new ideas that go beyond existing exchange programmes. The focus is on innovative formats for individuals who, for various reasons, have not yet been able to take advantage of mobility opportunities.

Reducing administrative barriers and continuously improving exchange offerings are also central goals, in order to increase mobility numbers and deepen the exchange between the EMERGE regions and local stakeholders.
