"The 2017-2019 Strategic Guidelines of the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome establish as a priority intervention area the increase of the internationalization of the University.Various interventions are envisaged in this area: 1) to facilitate and support the international mobility of lectures and, in parallel, to create the conditions for foreign lectures and researchers to spend significant periods at the university for teaching and research activities; 2) to foster the international dimension of training, both at the PhD level, both incoming and outgoing, paying particular attention to inbound mobility of foreign students and encouraging Erasmus exchange for UCBM students.To this end, the promotion of mobility within Erasmus Plus pursues such internationalization strategies. In the academic year 2016/2017 the University promoted mobility for study and internship purposes in order to create a network for new agreements and / or consolidation of collaborations. During the a. 2016/2017 no. 9 student mobility for study purposes, with a decrease compared to the previous a.y. motivated by the need of our student body to enhance their training experiences in preparation for the job market. In fact, the mobility of students and / or graduates for Traineeship, no. 19 in total.As for the mobility of teaching staff, no. 4 Mobility by teaching, fewer than the previous a.y. which is undoubtedly due to the implementation of the Visiting and Grant Program, sponsored with University funds, specifically designed to support the international mobility of incoming and outgoing visiting professors, lecturers and researchers. It is therefore expected that these type of mobility will continue to decrease, privileging student outgoing mobility.There were also no. 6 mobility for administrative, technical and health personnel. It should be noted that during the a.y. 2016/2017, in line with the previous one, there was a strong encouragement for the mobility of administrative and medical personnel for job shadowing initiatives and participation in Staff Mobility Weeks organized by foreign universities, in line with a clear ""internationalization at home"" strategy to be implemented following appropriate training of personnel. The level of satisfaction and enthusiasm experienced by the beneficiaries was high, in fact, many staff members continue to show appreciation for international mobility."

"L'attività dell’Ufficio Relazioni Internazionali si pone in continuità con le attività dello scorso anno in attuazione del Piano Strategico dell'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma 2017-2019. Il Piano prevede uno specifico ambito di intervento finalizzato ad aumentare il livello di internazionalizzazione dell'Ateneo. Le azioni individuate a supporto di questo obiettivo sono dirette a: 1) agevolare e sostenere la mobilità internazionale dei docenti UCBM e parallelamente creare le condizioni affinché professori e ricercatori stranieri possano trascorrere periodi significativi presso l'Ateneo per attività didattiche e di ricerca; 2) favorire la dimensione internazionale della formazione, anche a livello di dottorato, sia in ingresso che in uscita con particolare attenzione alla mobilità in entrata di studenti stranieri e all'incentivazione degli scambi Erasmus per gli studenti UCBM. In particolare, nell’a.a. oggetto del presente rapporto, l'Ufficio Relazioni Internazionali ha ben promosso la “cultura erasmus” incentivando con successo la mobilità studenti; a consuntivo, il numero di mobilità nel corso dell'a.a. 2018/2019 è pari a 65 studenti, rispetto ad una previsione di 45 e ad una assegnazione di fondi da parte dell'Agenzia Nazionale di 54 studenti. Delle 65 mobilità, n. 46 si riferiscono al Bando Traineeship con un aumento del 70% rispetto alla mobilità dell’anno accademico precedente (27 mobilità traineeship a.a. 2017-2018). Le mobilità per studio sono invece aumentate fino a 19, aumentando del 170% rispetto al precedente anno accademico. Nonostante l’ottimo risultato di quest’ultima categoria, si conferma la preferenza degli Studenti UCBM a inserire questa esperienza internazionale come un'attività professionalizzante che arricchisce il percorso formativo in sede, con la prospettiva di creare migliori connessioni con il mondo del lavoro. Per ciò che concerne il budget, considerata l'elevata richiesta di mobilità di studenti, l’Ateneo ha deciso di dare priorità agli studenti e permettere loro di fare questa esperienza durante il percorso formativo, spostando interamente i fondi a disposizione dello staff sulle mobilità per studenti. Il Bando Staff non è quindi stato emesso. Per ciò che concerne la mobilità docenti, l’Ateneo ha compensato la mancanza del suddetto Bando Staff attraverso il “Visiting Programme” di mobilità internazionale in entrata e in uscita, finanziato con fondi di Ateneo, destinato a visiting professors, lectures e researcher. Nell'ambito del Programma si sono create utili connessioni non solo per le attività di ricerca e di didattica, ma anche per attività istituzionali. Proprio a seguito di periodi di mobilità previsti dal ""Visiting Programme"", alcuni professori di prestigiose università straniere sono stati inseriti come docenti di riferimento del CdL in Medicine and Surgery, attivato in questo anno accademico presso l'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma. Anche l'esperienza di collaborazione per la redazione di un progetto KA 107 con la Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan) è certamente da segnalare come best-practice del “Visiting Programme”."
