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

"The total achieved number of outgoing mobilities for the acad. 2015-2016 year is 141 participants, including per activity type between Programme countries: 67 SM for Traineeships; 10 SM for Study; 22 Staff mobility for teaching and 42 Staff mobility for training.TrU participates in the activities under the “Erasmus” program since its start in Bulgaria and each year we try to build on achievements. Increased interest in outgoing mobilities on the part of students and teachers, a larger number of student mobilities and staff mobilities compared to planned and implemented in previous years, more attracted and utilized resources, establishing new contacts with universities and other organizations and companies, seeking new and effective forms of awareness of participation in the activities and the dissemination of the acquired positive experiences and best practices, implemented student and teaching incoming mobilities in more educational fields – these are the results for the 2015-2016 acad. year, thanks of the very good cooperation of the coordinators of the program at TrU on the Faculty and University level, together with the Student Council and the Centre for Career Development.One of our main tasks is to make a balanced plan based on the analysis of the previous years, because the very good performance of the activities begins at their planning. At the conclusion of bilateral agreements, we try to cover almost all educational fields and to offer students and teachers opportunities to realize mobility of the official EU languages. The greatest interest for the realization of mobility for traineeships is manifested by students in veterinary medicine and agricultural sciences, medicine, medical sciences and rehabilitation, pedagogical sciences. Young teachers from all departments manifest greater interest for the implementation of staff mobility for training during this year too. Developing and expanding the number of educational programs in English to attract foreign students at TrU is an important precondition for the conclusion of bilateral agreements and the realization of student mobilities. This year too, we report some decline, though minimal, in the number of student mobilities for study in comparison with student mobilities for traineeships. The main reason in our opinion is still the difference in curricula in Universities from program countries and the requirements of the Bulgarian legislation in the field of higher education, especially in regulated fields such as veterinary medicine and medicine. The link between education, practical skills and their implementation on the labour market for graduates determines the great interest from our students on mobilities for traineeships. TrU endeavours to ensure normal conditions for teaching, learning and participation in various activities of the program for all students and teachers, including those at a disadvantage, but depending on the specifics and requirements of the relevant specialties. TrU works continuously to improve the organization of the learning process through the implementation of positive experiences from teaching realized mobilities, to expand international contacts and to increase participation in joint educational and scientific projects. TrU facilitates and supports students in the practical organization of mobility. All outgoing students receive an Erasmus Student Charter and acquaint themselves in details with the rights and responsibilities specified therein. Particular notice is given in the preparation of Learning Agreements for Study and for Traineeships of outgoing students with the help of Faculty coordinators and the University Erasmus office. Very useful is the help of former Erasmus students. TrU ensures full recognition of the real period of mobility. Erasmus students are issued with European Diploma Supplement at their will. The information days by Faculties and Departments have proved to be a successful and preferred form of implementation of the information policy of the program at TrU. On the eve of December 8, the feast day of Bulgarian students, was organized by former Erasmus students, a photo exhibition entitled ""My Erasmus adventure."" During the traditional meeting of the Rector with successful students, Erasmus students shared their impressions and experiences of realized mobilities. The timely updating of information on the website of the University provides rapid and timely dissemination of opportunities for academic exchange. We report as a good practice that teachers and experts give their impressions of realized mobilities on special information meetings in their departments. New promotional materials were prepared and issued for advertising and attracting foreign students and teachers to realize incoming mobilities at TrU as Erasmus students or guest lecturers."

The total achieved number of outgoing mobilities for the acad. 2016-2017 year is 143 participants, including per activity type between Programme countries: 73 SM forTraineeships; 6 SM for Study; 29 Staff mobility for teaching and 35 Staff mobility for training.

At the conclusion of bilateral agreements, we try to cover almost all educational fields and to offer students and teachers opportunities to realize mobility of the official EU languages. Inbound mobility activities are just as important to us as to the outgoing.The greatest interest is for English language mobility, with preferred destinations Germany, Turkey, Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, France and others.The greatest interest for the realization of mobility for traineeships is manifested by students in veterinary medicine, medicine, medical sciences, health care and rehabilitation, pedagogical sciences.

"Значително повишен интерес към изходящите мобилностите от страна на студентите и преподавателите от Тракийски университет (ТрУ), повече привлечени средства, установяване на нови контакти с висши училища и други организации и предприятия, търсене на нови и ефективни форми за информираност за участие в дейностите, както и за разпространение на придобитите положителен опит и добри практики, по-голям брой реализирани студентски мобилности и мобилности на персонала в сравнение с планираните и реализираните през предходните години,повече реализирани студентски и преподавателски входящи мобилности в повече образователни направления - това е резултатът за изминалата 2018-2019 г. от много добрата съвместна работа на координаторите по програмата в ТрУ на университетско и факултетно ниво. ТрУ участва в дейностите по програма Еразъм още от самото й начало в България и с всяка изминала година ние се стараем да подобрим постигнатото.Една от нашите главни задачи е да направим балансирано планиране на база анализ от предходните години.При сключването на двустранните договори се стараем да покрием почти всички образователни направления и да предоставим на студентите и преподавателите възможности за реализиране на мобилност на официалните за ЕС езици. През тази акад.година новите двустранни договори са 22, а общият брой вече е 183. Най-голям е интересът за мобилности с англ. ез., а предпочитани дестинации са Чехия, Великобритания, Гърция,Германия, Турция, Португалия, Италия, Унгария, Словакия, Франция и др. Най-голям интерес за реализиране на мобилности с цел практика има от страна на студентите по ветеринарна медицина, медицина, мед. сестра и акушерка,предучилищно образование, рехабилитация. Разработването и разширяване броя на учебните програми на англ. език е важна предпоставка за сключването на двустранни договори и за реализирането на по-голяма входящата мобилност - студенстка и преподавателска, защото дейностите по входящата мобилност са също толкова важни за нас, както и за изходящата. Тази година отчитаме по-голям брой студенски мобилности с цел обучение и то за обучение през цялата година. Студентите предпочетоха удължаване на обучението си, което доведе и до прехвърляне на средстава от ОП към тази мобиност. Връзката между образованието, натрупаните практически умения и реализацията на пазара на труда на завършващите студенти предопределя големия интерес от страна на нашите студенти към мобилностите с цел практика. Езиковите компетенции вече не са основна бариера за участие в мобилностите, но се работи за повишаване на нивото на езиковите познания на заминаващите студенти. ТрУ се старае да осигури нормални условия за обучение, преподаване и участие в различните дейности по програмата за всички студенти и преподаватели, включително и за тези в неравностойно положение, но в зависимост от спецификата и изискванията на съответните специалности. Чуждестранните студенти участват наравно с българските студенти в кандидатстването при стриктно спазване на селекционните изисквания и процедури. ТрУ работи непрекъснато за подобряване на организацията на учебния процес чрез внедряване на натрупания положителен опит от реализираните преподавателски мобилности, за разширяване на международните контакти и увеличаване участието в съвместни образователни и научни проекти. Качеството на реализираните преподавателски мобилности и обратната връзка след реализирана мобилност наложи въвеждането на допълнителен отчет за всяка една реализирана мобилност на персонала като официален документ. ТрУ гарантира пълно признаване на реално осъществен период на мобилност, улеснява и подпомага студентите при практическото организирането на мобилността. Ако има проблеми, те са само по отделни дисциплини като формалната причина е непълното съответствие на учебните програми и изискванията на българското законодателство при регулираните специалности,каквито са ветеринарната медицина и медицината, което затруднява оформянето на предварителните учебни програми на заминаващите студенти. Проблемите се разрешават след разговори с преподавателите и намиране на взаимно приемливо решение. Всички заминаващи студенти получават Студентска харта Еразъм и се запознават с правата и отговорностите, посочени в нея. Много полезна е помощта на бившите Еразъм студенти. Пожелание се издава европейско дипломно приложение. Традиционни са работните срещи на Еразъм координаторите, на които се представят новостите и се обменят идеи и добри практики в ТрУ. Преподавателите представят своите впечатления от реализирани мобилности на специални информационни срещи по факултети и катедри. Провеждането на информационни дни по основните звена се оказа предпочитана и успешна форма за реализиране на информационната политика по програмата.Своевременно се актуализира информацията на web-страницата на ТрУ.През октомври 2018 г. ТрУ участва в Европейската инициатива ""Erasmus days"" с Отворени врати по програма ""Еразъм+"" във всички основни звена."

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.
