According to these bilateral agreements, we expected to have some exchanges with our partner countries.

    "In this project, we had partners from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Algeria, Kosovo and Ukraine. About context and background of the projects, we were partners with Albania since 2017. We were able to sign the agreement with the help of a staff who joined a congress about food engineering there. For Bosnia; we have been partners with them since 2015. We were able to sign Erasmus+ Agreement with an academic staff from AKU who is going to teach there. Since then, we had many mobilities and visits which strengthened our relations. For Ukraine and Kosovo, the demand came from them to sign the agreement and we supported them. For Georgia, we had Mevlana Agreements with Georgian Universities since 2014. So, we have known each other before KA107. For Moldova and Algeria, we started an initiative to sign the agreements with searching possible partners through Internet. We have found partners from Moldova by reaching a brochure prepared by ""National Erasmus Office of Moldova"". For Algeria, our neighboring city and university, Kutahya Dumlupınar University helped and gave us their contacts in Algeria. Objectives about this project were to improve the international cooperation and internationalization strategies of AKU, to accept international students at different levels, to advance our academic staffs international academic relations, to build other European projects with our partner institutions. For Algeria, we accepted 3 students and 1 staff for training. We sent 2 staff for training and 1 staff for teaching. As we couldn't find outgoing student and outgoing staff for teaching, we transferred this budget to our partner institutions. Also, one of our incoming students from Algeria decided to his PhD in AKU. For Albania, we hosted 2 students, 2 staff for teaching and staff for training. We sent 4 staff for teaching and 3 staff for training. Because we couldn't find 3 outgoing students from AKU, we transferred our outgoing student budget to incoming staff mobility. In our 7th International Week, Albanian partners joined our events and they fulfilled their training mobility in their respective fields. For Bosnia, we hosted 4 students, 3 staff for teaching and 5 staff for training. We sent 4 students, 3 staff for teaching and 3 staff for training. The demand both for incoming and outgoing mobilities are very high for the country of Bosnia and International University of Sarajevo (IUS) because of similar cultural tides, similar organization of course/ECTS liabilities, common language of instruction and easiness of visa, accommodation and transportation options. For Georgia, we accepted 4 students, 4 staff for teaching and 5 staff for training. We sent 2 students, 3 staff for training and 3 staff for teaching. For Georgia, we couldn't find one outgoing student, so we transferred this budget to incoming student budget. We are able to build strong cooperation with our Georgian partners (GTU, TSU) since 2015. We will fulfill EU KA2 projects and joint master degrees for upcoming years thanks to this KA107 project. For Ukraine, we hosted 3 student, 3 staff for training, 7 staff for training. We sent 2 students, 3 staff for teaching and 4 staff for training. We transferred 1 outgoing staff grant to incoming staff grant. Also, we hosted vice-rector of ODHNPU, Prof. Dr. Halyna Kuznetsova in 7th International Week to discuss further collaborations in the scope of universities internationalization aims. For Kosovo, we hosted 3 students, 3 staff for training, 3 staff for teaching. We sent 2 students,4 staff for teaching and 3 staff for training. For Moldova, we couldn't send 1 outgoing student because he couldn't get visa on time. So we transferred this budget to only staff mobility. We hosted 2 staff for teaching and 2 staff for training. We sent only 1 staff for training as the budget for Moldova was very limited. Besides of these mobilities, each year we are organizing International Week in the first week of May. This year we also organized the event together with our project partners. Here, they made presentations about their universities, departments and possible problems, solutions about KA107 projects. We had the opportunity to share our experience about Erasmus+ Programme, we planned other activities like building projects, organizing meetings both in Turkey and in our partner countries, planning to promote our number about incoming and outgoing students which can help our universities' internationalization processes. The incoming academic staff from our partners introduce their universities' capacities and physical opportunities in this International Week to our students and academic staff. For result and impact, we are able to find new partners; we had the opportunity to establish new mobilities which is the AKU's most important internationalization aim. This mobilities increased recognition of AKU internationally."
