The Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée (UPEM) has been willing to continue to take part in the 2016 “Mobility for Higher Education students and staff” programme. This programme is the base for cooperation between higher education institutions and is governed by the principles of the Erasmus Charter for Higher education.The engagement on this programme has represented over several years and still today, a lever pursuing the attractiveness as well as the goals of internationalisation of the university (in regard to its function, academic courses, in respect of teaching and administrative staff, students etc..), to contribute in enhancing the quality of the courses through mobility, to strengthen the ties between universities and companies, to encourage equality of access to inter-European mobility by giving financial support to students. 105 students on mobility for studies or on mobility for traineeship have benefitted from the present project. 95% of the mobilities was organized in 2016/17 and 5% in 2017/18.Mobility for studies and for traineeship are both included in the academic curriculum of the students and are consistent with the objectives related to their courses and their personal development, in particular for their integration into the labour market ( through the improvement of qualifications, skills and knowledge).The “Mobility for Higher Education students and staff” programme, has permitted mobility abroad for teaching or training purposes for 11 members of the academic and administrative staff. Staff mobility (teaching and training) aims on one hand to promote the exchange of skills and on the other hand to reinforce the bi-lateral Erasmus + partnerships and in particular in the case of teaching mobility’s to facilitate and improve the organisation of student exchanges.UPEM would like to continue to build on the reputation of the Erasmus+ programme for the promotion of intra and extra-European exchanges in order to increase the number of incoming and outgoing exchanges for students and staff, while closely applying the principles of Erasmus+ mobility, including for exchanges organised outside of the programme.

"During the project ""Re-designing and co-creating innovative cultural heritage services through libraries"", a professional development program, short-term training for employees, as well as the development of an online MOOC course were created for cultural heritage and memory institutions.The project consortium consists of six organizations from which two are libraries (National Library of Latvia and Belgrade City Library), three universities (Tallinn University, Hacettepe University and De Marne La Vallee University) and Stichting Project Realisatie van Initiative door Modulatie van Entrepreneurschap, whose priority is offering innovative teaching methods to both business and cultural institutions to improve and expand their services and attract customers / users.The idea of the project arose due to the lack of innovative approaches and solutions in cultural heritage promotion services in libraries. Hence the aim of the project is to encourage society to become more involved in identification, preservation, and consumption of cultural heritage by developing training programs and educational materials for libraries, using methodologies that are actively used in other industries (IT, business, marketing).The tasks are directly related to the project goal and intellectual results (IO): to identify the situation (IO1), to design the training programme (IO2), to implement the training programme (IO3), to make project results available via MOOC (IO4). IO1 – State of the art report includes general overview and the situation in iTSELF project partner countries - Estonia, France, Latvia, the Netherlands, Turkey – regarding cultural heritage in libraries.IO2 – the training programme was developed using less widely used methodology in the cultural field: Agile Framework (SCRUM and KANBAN), Lego Serious Play, Business Model You.IO3 – four short-term joint staff training events which included learning new methodology, designing training programme, toolkit and e-learning platform to develop innovative services.IO4 – MOOC (Masive Open Online Course) was created, allowing a wide range of professionals to get acquainted with the results of the project and use them.These innovative approaches and solutions are further used by Belgrade City Library (promotion of cultural heritage in social networks) and the National Library of Latvia (game design and its potential use in the promotion of cultural heritage among users of different generations). The impact and long-term benefits ar provided by MOOC, giving librarians and other information professionals the opportunity in learning new various modern techniques, methods and tools and developing innovative services."
