El proyecto de la Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA) 2018-1-ES01-KA103-047606 ha integrado un total de 297 movilidades, de las que 220 son estancias de estudiantes con fines de estudio, 32 movilidades de estudiantes para la realización de prácticas en empresa, 17 visitas con fines docentes y 28 visitas con fines formativos. Ello hace un total de 252 movilidades de estudiantes y 45 movilidades de personal, lo que es una cifra notable para una institución de 8.175 estudiantes, 637 docentes e investigadores (en equivalente a tiempo completo) y 485 miembros del personal de administración y servicios.El proyecto ha integrado igualmente un amplio número de instituciones socias y países de destino. Se ha enviado estudiantes en movilidades con fines de estudio a 102 instituciones de educación superior diferentes de 22 países, en fines de prácticas a 12 países y 23 empresas diferentes, personal a 39 instituciones de 14 países, lo que evidencia el esfuerzo de la UPNA en diversificar los destinos en la medida de lo posible para ofrecer las mayores posibilidades a toda la comunidad universitaria, buscando en todo momento el mayor impacto, dentro de su marco estratégico de internacionalización y cooperación.La movilidad de estudiantes para la realización de prácticas en empresa se ha ofrecido en todas sus modalidades: prácticas curriculares, extracurriculares y de egresados. La UPNA para ello ha contado con el apoyo de su Fundación Universidad- Sociedad, entidad que trabaja la relación con las empresas y se encarga del mantenimiento, supervisión y ampliación de los convenios de prácticas.La movilidad con fines formativos se ha ofrecido tanto al Personal de Administración y Servicios (PAS) como al Personal Docente e Investigación (PDI), lo que ha permitido la formación de los participantes a través de estancias en otras instituciones europeas y el desarrollo de sus competencias pedagógicas y de desarrollo curricular. La UPNA ha tenido entre sus objetivos prioritarios de internacionalización y cooperación potenciar la realización de visitas formativas y docentes y para ello ha adelantado los fondos propios necesarios para ampliar el número de visitas inicialmente adjudicados. Como resultado, se ha conseguido realizar 45 visitas de personal (22 movilidades más de las 23 inicialmente adjudicadas). Especialmente relevante es el incremento en visitas formativas, se han realizado 28 estancias formativas (22 más de las 6 inicialmente adjudicadas).

Since 2000, the Public University of Navarra has as one of its main objectives, to work from the perspective of cooperation for development, as included in its strategy for Internationalization. To this end, mobility has been a key tool, fulfilling a double purpose. On the one hand, our university students have been able to integrate their practical work and Final Thesis Work (both Grade and Master levels) in development cooperation projects carried out under the academic mentoring of teaching staff from partner universities located in Cuba, Peru and Salvador who at the same time worked in collaboration with local organizations. On the other hand, mobility has also been a powerful mean for the institutional strengthening of partner universities from third countries participating in this project. This new line, established through action KA107, has allowed the UPNA and the Cuban, Peruvian and Salvadoran universities listed below, to give further steps to strengthen their collaboration links as well as the exchange of good practices in international relations and lines of research directly related to the development priorities in the different regions they are located. This is the context in which emerges this project that was submitted in 2015 call and has been implemented nearly at its 100% until July 31, 2017.The seven universities which have collaborated in the project are the following: University of Havana and University of Pinar del Rio, Cuba; Don Bosco University and José Simeón Cañas University in El Salvador; National University of Piura, National University Pedro Ruiz Gallo and National University of Huancavelica in Peru.Aims:• Institutional strengthening of the universities through placements primarily focused on teaching staff and technical staff working at the International Relations and cooperation Offices of the institutions; Even doctoral and masters' stays have taken place in a high percentage by partner universities’ teachers who were in turn masters or doctorate students at the host university. This way the benefit was guaranteed not to be only individual but also institutional, resulting in an increase in the quality of teaching and internationalization.• Dissemination of the European Culture as well as its external action objectives, priorities and principles.• To enhance the collaboration means between the different universities involved in the project. In the case of UPNA, all existing agreements with these universities have been revised and new areas and ways of collaboration have been proposed; As regards the partner universities, new ties and agreements have been generated between them, favoring this way the South-South cooperation. In fact, new projects have been proposed in the 2017 call, which have been approved. This will also allow to continue working within the framework of action KA107. In addition, new initiatives for capacity building projects have been evaluated, due to the opportunity that the different stays have given to work on specific aspects and needs of the institutions, common points , etc.• Awareness raising and training on issues related to Agenda 2030, the European Union, the reality of international cooperation for development.Number and profile of participants: 36 mobilities were granted, 35 have been implemented, distributed as follows: 3 master's students (1 of them lecturer as well), 9 doctorate level students (8 of them lecturers), 11 teaching staff placements,12 non teaching staff placements carried out by international relations and development cooperation Offices’ staff.Activities carried out: completion of a training or teaching itinerary, according to the previously agreed plan with the universities involved. Complementary activities related to the scheduled plan on the one hand as well as other activities offered by the host institutions. New ones have also been generated as a result of their coordination work with local organizations. Example: International Week The Erasmus + program: Opportunities for collaboration with Latin America.Results and impact achieved:• Students: involvement in projects during their stay beyond the purely academic one (greater sensitivity to the global challenges of human and sustainable development); further training in professional and scientific skills and techniques suitable to be applied once back in their home university. Broader international culture of university students.• PDI: development of work plans directly related to the immediate needs of their home university.• PAS: reinforcement of the management and organization capacities of international relations offices.• Institutional strengthening.• Contribution to local development, through international experience.Long-term benefits: • Reinforcement of relations and collaborations between participating universities.• Specific proposals for future projects under the Erasmus + framework and others.• Shared lines of research.

Near-zero-index (NZI) media is a family of photonic nanostructures (continuous media and/or metamaterials) characterized by a near-zero refractive index. As the refractive index approaches zero, spatial and temporal variations of the electromagnetic field decouple, giving rise of a regime of qualitatively different light-matter interactions. Therefore, NZI nanostructures exhibit a unique optical response, where a concept as basic as the geometry plays an essentially different role. Examples of the exotic wave phenomena include transmission through deformed waveguides, cavities whose resonant frequency does not depend on the geometry of their external boundary, nonradiating modes in three-dimensional open cavities, violation of effective medium theories, anomalous dispersion, nonperturbative nonlinear optics, to name a few. These unconventional effects have a high potential for technological innovation. However, the crucial challenge of transforming these basic phenomena into practical devices has not yet bee
