"During the academic year of 2016/2017, University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB) had signed 485 agreements in 279 universities across 25 countries of EU and Turkey. During this period of time, 90 outgoing students participated in study mobilities with a number of 470 months used; 86 outgoing students went in placement mobility with a number of 247 months used; 85 teachers storing 425 days of mobility and 4 staff training participants with a number of 20 days. UPB has received and hosted 180 incoming students in study mobility from 9 EU countries and Turkey, with a total of 927 months of mobility.The main mobility objectives were:- quality improvement of teaching and education for the three cycles: bachelor, master and PhD;- raising the number of outgoing students in placement mobilities;- keeping the support travel fee from UPB, for transport tickets disbursement of ERASMUS+ participants, worth of 120 euro/participant.- increasing the number of teaching mobilities, the participants(teachers) must hold at least Lecturer PhD degree.- identification of new sources of financing for increasing the study mobility grant.During 2016/2017 academic year were organized 2 rounds of selection for ERASMUS+ mobilities (March 2016 and October 2016) according to the approved Selection Regulation.At university management initiative were granted mobility scholarships from UPB fund. The grant is 900 RON/month and is made to encourage students to take part in the ERASMUS+ study mobility.ERASMUS+ project was promoted through purchasing customized materials like t-shirts, cups, pens and cotton bags not only for incoming/outgoing students but also for teachers.The happening of ""ERASMUS Open Doors"" (EOD) is an expected event among students in March. The main speakers and participants are: Erasmus+ Promoters, representatives of Erasmus Student Network Romania, the faculties coordinators, former students involved in ERASMUS+ project and candidate students. In some partner universities, master and PhD students were involved in research activities among the local staff members and under the supervision of teachers, taking part of the team doing articles and publishing in scientific papers or journals."

This project investigates how avatar agency impacts practices of ascribing moral responsibility in emergent avatar communities (Metaverse, augmented Metaverse, and Human-Cybernetic Avatar societies). These communities challenge traditional frameworks of agency and moral responsibility. The unprecedented persistent and continuous use of multiple avatars by both humans and organisations, has the potential to permeate prior boundaries of the physical, the augmented and the virtual world. We propose a dynamic normative framework of ascribing moral responsibility that is grounded in a philosophical conceptualisation of avatar agency. This framework considers the way interactions between avatars, individuals, and organisations generate intertwined and mutual ascriptions of moral responsibility, potentially enhancing or, on the contrary, diminishing human agency and responsibility in emergent avatar communities. We construct our approach along five main objectives: 1) to clarify avatar agency and related responsibility pertaining to individual, organisational, and artificial members of emergent avatar communities; 2) to delineate the way avatar agency enhances or restrains individual agency and responsibility; 3) to correlate the way interactions between social entities in avatar communities generate mutually enhancing (or perhaps decreasing) ascriptions of moral responsibility to all participants; 4) to evaluate the extent in which the ethical characteristics of the community environment can generate normative attributions of responsibility; 5) to project normative evaluations of blaming and praising practices in avatar communities. The successful delivery of this ethical framework is an original contribution to the problem of moral responsibility and bears direct implications for future regulation, impacting societal moral practices of accountability and blaming.
