This is a higher education student and staff mobility project, please consult the website of the organisation to obtain additional details.

The mobility consortium is coordinated by CEIMAR Foundation (International Campus of Excellence of the Sea) and composed of the Andalusian universities, from the coast of the region: Almería, Cádiz, Granada, Huelva, and Málaga. All of them with a wide academic and scientific experience in the field of studies of the Sea and strong defenders of the internationalization of higher education and the Erasmus program since its beginning. This consortium promotes the academic, research, cultural and linguistic training of students and staff through international mobility in countries of the European Union.CEIMAR's commitment to the Erasmus program is part of its Strategic Plan for Internationalization and the Campus of International Excellence Project. In order to comply with this strategy that allows to follow the path of international excellence in the marine-maritime field, as well as to optimize the academic and professional opportunities of the university community, CEIMAR is aware of the need to strengthen relations with Education Institutions European superiors through the development of mobility projects. The 2017 project includes a total of 76 mobilities, distributed among 44 studies, 23 practices, 7 for teaching and 2 for training.A total of 12 mobilities have been executed: 6 for Master and Doctorate studies, 2 for internships, 1 for teaching staff and 3 for training staff.In this regard, it must be said that the results obtained in this project are not desirable at all because of the mobility consortium that is committed to the Erasmus + program as a driver and enhancer of the international activity of CEIMAR.These results have been the result of a series of incidents produced in the organizational structure of the management body of CEIMAR that caused a slowdown in the implementation of the project in the period in which the 2017 project is framed. One of the triggers of these results was the absence of personnel since March 2017, motivated by the change of the technician's employment relationship with the Foundation, which left the square, which caused the operation of the project management to be paralyzed. Another reason for the low level of execution was the voluntary termination of the Foundation's manager in August 2018, which ended up paralyzing all the activity carried out. This situation led to the lack of legal representative of the entity that negatively influenced the proper functioning of the approved mobilities. To resolve this situation, a selection process was initiated immediately after the technician was able to resolve the lack of personnel as soon as possible, as well as the beginning of the appointment of a new legal representative to unlock the progress of the activity of CEIMAR, a once approved by the Executive Committee of the Foundation. The new staff was incorporated in mid-July 2018 while the appointment of the new legal representative could not be ready until October 2018. The project was finally launched in December 2018 with the publication of two calls for the mobility of studies (Master and Doctorate) and internships, since the degree programs were not feasible at the end of the nomination period of the partner universities. To call for studies, 20 applications were submitted, of which 6 were awarded due to the resignation of the other applicants. Regarding the call for practices, 7 applications were submitted, of which 5 resigned, and only 2 could be awarded.From the call for staff, all the applications submitted were awarded, that is, 4 mobilities. From CEIMAR, it is wanted to state that this situation has been punctual and that at present the mobility projects both KA107 of 2017 and those of 2018 (KA103 and KA107) are marching with total normality when the situation that has caused the Low level of execution of this project. The current situation of CEIMAR is completely normalized and its operation is going favorably. In this regard and as a result of its strong commitment to collaboration with European universities, CEIMAR is established as an associated partner in the proposed University of the Seas, SeaEU, which has recently been approved by the European Commission, led by the University of Cádiz that She is also the coordinator of the mobility consortium. Thus, CEIMAR has another potential, which promotes the internationalization of education and broadens the range of institutions with which to develop teaching and research projects. In relation to the Erasmus + program, CEIMAR has set 2 main improvement objectives- Provide the mobility of specialization as an added value to them.- Increase quality and efficiency in the management of mobility.

The mobility consortium is coordinated by the CEI · MAR Foundation (Campus of International Excellence of the Sea) and made up of Andalusian universities, located on the coast of the region: Universities of Almería, Cádiz, Granada, Huelva, and Málaga. All of them an extensive academic and scientific careers in the field of Sea studies and are strong defenders of the internationalization of higher education and the Erasmus program since its inception. This consortium promotes the academic, research, cultural and linguistic training of students and staff through international mobility in partner countries.CEI · MAR's commitment to the Erasmus program is part of its Strategic Plan for Internationalization and the Campus of International Excellence Project. The CEI · MAR, after the final evaluation, carried out by the International Commission that evaluates the Campus of Excellence (designated by Order of the Minister of Education, Culture and Sport of June 15, 2016) has obtained the highest possible rating, A +, and Following the recommendation of the International Commission, its transfer to CEI Global is approved.In order to comply with the internationalization strategy that allows following the path of international excellence in the marine-maritime field of the universities that are members of the campus, as well as optimizing the academic and professional opportunities of its students, recent graduates, and teaching staff and Researcher, CEI · MAR is aware of the need to strengthen relations with Higher Education Institutions, technology, and research centers and companies in the marine-maritime sector of associated countries, in this case, through the development of different mobility projects international.The 2018 project includes a total of 26 mobilities, distributed between 12 for studies, 6 for teaching and 8 for training distributed between incoming and outgoing.The results obtained have been a total of 1 incoming mobility of personnel for training.In this regard, it must be said that the results obtained in this project are not at all desirable for the mobility consortium that is committed to the Erasmus + program as a promoter and enhancer of the international activity of CEI · MAR.These results have been the result of a series of incidents that initially occurred in the organizational structure of CEIMAR's management body, which caused a slowdown in the implementation of the development of mobility projects, to which unfortunately the consequences of the stoppage were added. of mobilities due to the pandemic and the closure of borders with Morocco due to the latest political crisis.Specifically, the first of the incidents could be resolved, however, the pandemic caused by COVID 19 has been the trigger for these results, which caused the development of mobilities to be paralyzed and therefore low level of implementation of the project aspect which ended up paralyzing all activity carried out in CEIMAR.On the other hand, it should be noted that this situation has mainly affected this project, with subsequent projects corresponding to 2019 and 2020 in the process of development which, although slowly, is recovering in mobilities as the situation that has caused the low level of execution of mobilities.In this regard, last December the call for mobilities KA107 International dimension was published in order to reactivate in the last section of the project's execution.In relation to the Erasmus + program, the CEI · MAR has set the following objectives and improvements:- Provide the mobilities produced in the framework of the projects with a specialization as an added value to them.- Increase in the number and quality of inter-institutional agreements with institutions not only of higher education but also of technology and research centers.- Improvement of digital skills through practical mobility.- Increased quality and efficiency in the management of mobility.- Improvements in the quality of the general services offered to students in the management of insurance, visas, search for accommodation, etc.- Improvements in the recognition of acquired qualifications and competencies (formal and non-formal) for participating, staff and students.- Encouragement of the improvement of the language skills of the participants, through the support for the realization of language courses.- Increase in the level of internationalization through increased mobility and scientific cooperation and recruitment of international talent.- Increase in the level of employability of participating students.
