This action supports physical and blended mobility of higher education students and staff from EU Member States and third countries associated to Erasmus+ to any country in the world. Students in all study fields and cycles can take part in a study period or traineeship abroad. Higher education teaching and administrative staff can take part in professional development activities abroad, as well as staff from the field of work in order to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.

This organisation has been awarded an Erasmus accreditation. The award of the accreditation confirms that the organisation has set up a plan to implement high quality mobility activities as part of a wider effort to internationalize its activities and to improve the quality of learning and teaching at the organisation. Accredited organisations are committed to a set of quality standards defined at the European level. By being accredited, the organisation gains continuous and easier access to funding for mobility activities of learners and staff under Key Action 1.

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

CEU San Pablo University has as one of its main objectives the internationalization of the institution. In this sense, the University has developed several activities to promote the mobility of students, teachers and staff within the framework of the Erasmus + Programme.Our institution has carried out different ways of publicizing the programme via e-mail, website, bulletin board, Facebook, Twitter, student portal and teacher portal. In addition, CEU San Pablo University has provided ongoing information on the selection process to participate in the Erasmus + programme through informative sessions in the different Faculties of the University. This has been always supported by the International Mobility Office of the Vice Rectorate for International Relations.Outgoing SMS and SMP mobility: more than 1000 applications were received. After a long selection process (language level tests, personal interviews, analysis of the academic level), the number of students doing a mobility has been of 234 students (SMS) and 5 for SMP.Outgoing STT and STA Mobility: more than 25 applications were received. After a selection process at all times coordinated with the Faculties and the Vice Rectorate for Academic Affairs, the final number of mobilities was 13 STA and 3 STT.Thanks to these mobilities the collaboration with partner universities of the Erasmus + programme has been reinforced. Furthermore, the high involvement of students, teachers and administrative staff has encouraged the development of good practices in our institution.On the other hand, the Commission for Internationalization of CEU San Pablo University has organized regular meetings to define the areas of action needed to establish all academic and administrative procedures necessary to ensure the internationalization of CEU San Pablo University.Incoming STA, STT, SMS, SMP mobility:CEU San Pablo University has facilitated the mobility of students, teaching and non-teaching staff by organizing meetings, welcome and farewell days for the participants, as ongoing monitoring during their stay in the University by the International Office and by the Academic Coordinators of International Relations of the different Faculties of CEU University San Pablo.Incoming STA, STT mobilities: The organization of International Weeks in different Faculties of the University has been consolidated. These kind of events have helped participants to develop their mobility in our institution.Incoming SMS mobilities: The International Buddy has been consolidated. This programme has helped to integrate incoming students at CEU San Pablo University. Thanks to this programme international students can count on the support of CEU students who help them integrate into the academic and social life of the University.Incoming SMP mobilities: The International Office has increased the number of places for international interns who are actively involved in all actions taken at the Office. For the academic year 2016-17 we plan to expand the number of places for incoming SMP students and enable these students to develop their internships in the different Faculties of the University.During the academic year 2015-16 most incoming SMP students have done their internship at the Faculty of Pharmacy and at the International Office.

The objective of this project is to apply “legal design thinking” and legal visualization techniques to facilitate the understanding and access to EU Law and the functioning of its Institutions. Specifically, so that it is more citizen-oriented to cope with idiomatic, formative and cultural barriers. New trends defend the need of visualising legal information proposing new formats for presenting legislation using design principles and methods to improve public access. In order to achieve a better relationship between the EU policies, goals and law and the EU citizens the format needs to be continuously improved and simplified. This includes the need for clear, regular, open and timely communication with Europeans. Implementing effective communication strategies is, therefore, a challenge in enhancing EU inclusive approach. In order to build this relationship between the EU and its citizens based on trust, the EU should provide all the necessary information related to its policies, institutions and, at the same time, informing the citizens about their rights. But it is also essential that the Europeans knows his/her rights and guarantees and above all, he/she must understand them. Therefore, a paradigm shift that the project wants to introduce in the way of approaching legal studies is based on the need for the jurist to study the norm collaborating with other disciplines to design mechanisms that allow communicating complex information that help both, understanding the law and decision making.Therefore, we propose an “Innovation” project that explore new angles and different methodologies aimed at making EU subjects more attractive and adapted to various kinds of target population. The possibility to use a more visual design to communicate complex EU law information will help to achieve a “design for understanding” and a “design for decision-making” that will facilitate the approximation of the EU citizens to the EU policies and institutions.
