Vista examines the effects of conflicting market forces on European performance in ATM, through the evaluation of impact metrics on four key stakeholders, and the environment. The project comprises a systematic, impact trade-off analysis using classical and complexity metrics, encompassing both fully monetised and quasi-cost impact measures.

"The University of Westminster maintains about 100 exchange partnerships with the great majority representing European higher education institutions. The University is committed to increase the mobility opportunities in Europe to both students and members of staff both by proactively promoting Erasmus+ opportunities as well as continuing the incorporation of outward mobility in the University's 2020 Strategy. The current outward mobility target for UK higher education institutions is 13% by 2020 but the University's target has remained at 20% of all graduating cohorts by 2020. One of our ambitious plans lead by the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Employability and Global Engagement is to embed study and work placements abroad (both standard and short-term) in the University's education programmes. Currently, the Erasmus+ programme is being promoted through a website page dedicated to Erasmus+, where we display the ECHE along with the European Policy Statement and by providing students with all the necessary information about funding and application processes . Specifically, all Information in more detail about Erasmus+ is available and updated for students (Students' Hub, Blackboard and GoXchange App) and for staff (Intranet).In this 2018-2019 Erasmus+ programme the University facilitated student study and traineeships, along with staff teaching and training mobility. There were a total of 129 participants, including 113 students and 13 staff members. Additionally, we accepted 155 inbound Erasmus+ students. The majority of the outbound student study participants have mobility periods embedded into their degree programmes, and were selected to go on exchange for either a semester or a year. Student traineeship opportunities also form part of mobility periods along with work placement opportunities which are a formal part of the student’s degree programme. This year by promoting the Erasmus+ programme we were able to fund students on traineeships outside of these mobility periods too.Erasmus+ was widely promoted throughout the University and applications were considered in accordance with the full principles of non-discrimination. We continued using a GDPR compliant online grant application form, which improved the quality of student data capture. However, we are still continuing to improve/develop our processes as part of an ongoing evaluation of our services. During the Erasmus+ 2018-2019 Programme, all eligible student participants were awarded a full Erasmus+ grant upon completing and submitting all the Erasmus+ documentation in a timely manner. Furthermore we introduced a mobile app for students to keep track of what needs to be submitted. This is an app developed by the Global Mobility Team, which all students can download on their mobile phones to be informed and/or receive notifications for their mobility documents, host organisations, fellow students, etc.. Invitations were sent to all participating students to register and participate in an exchange/Erasmus student community too. In line with the ""Being Westminster 2018-2023"" strategy which makes a commitment to high quality staff support and development, the University promoted staff mobility opportunities to professional and support staff through increased marketing and promotional activities led by the University with the support from Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Employability and Global Engagement). The Deputy Vice-Chancellor is the head of the panel that selects the most suitable staff mobility applicants. Once the Erasmus+ mobility is completed, the University ensures the recognition of satisfactorily completed activities of student study and traineeship mobility through recording them either in the student’s final record of academic transcripts or in the HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Record). There are two teams handling incoming and outgoing students under the umbrella of the Global Mobility Office of the University. The Student Mobility Team (SMT) manages the outgoing students and staff members mobilities as well as the University's Inter-Institutional Agreements for Erasmus+. The team’s main focus is to sustain and improve outward mobility to the best degree possible and to contribute to the increase of the students going abroad for studies or traineeships while ensuring outgoing students and staff are well-informed, supported and return with invaluable experience which they can share. The Education Abroad Team (EAT) manage and support the incoming exchange students. They regularly update and publish application information and course catalogues for incoming students on the University’s webpages. They make sure no fees are charged to incoming exchange students and equal academic treatment is always provided for incoming participants in line with the ECHE as well as the University Academic Regulations."

The University of Westminster has over 100 exchange partnerships and over half of these are with European higher education institutes. We display the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education in the Student Affairs Reception and it is also available online along with the European Policy Statement. It informs the University’s European Engagement Strategy and is available at Go Abroad eventsThe objective of this year's project was to continue support students and staff, improve our work with the programme and increase the mobility opportunities in Europe to both students and members of staff. This sit at the heart of the University's 2020 Strategy which outlines our commitment to increase outward mobility to 20% of all graduating cohorts by 2020 in line with the UK target.In this project we have facilitated student study and traineeships, along with staff teaching and training mobility. There were a total of 98 participants, including 80 student mobilities and 18 staff mobilities. The majority of student study participants have compulsory mobility periods designed into their degree programmes, and were selected to study abroad by their Faculty. Student traineeship opportunities also form part of compulsory mobility periods along with work placement opportunities which are a formal part of the student’s degree programme. The Erasmus+ grant application cycle was widely promoted throughout the University and applications were considered in accordance with the full principles of non-discrimination. In this project all eligible student participants were awarded a full Erasmus+ grant upon completing and submitting all the Erasmus+ documentation (i.e. grant agreement, learning agreement, etc.).This year the University promoted staff mobility opportunities to professional and support staff through increased marketing and promotional activities led by the Human Resources Development team. As a result, we have more than doubled the number of staff participants from the previous year. This is in line with the Westminster 2020 strategy which makes a commitment to high quality staff experience by encouraging staff to be global citizens and lifelong learners.The University ensures the recognition of satisfactorily completed activities of student study and traineeship mobility through recording them either in the student’s final record of academic transcripts and in the HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Record). Recognition of staff mobility is provided through the University's Personal Performance Development Review (PPDR) system.The Education Abroad Team regularly updates and publishes application information and course catalogues for incoming students on the University’s webpages. No fees are charged to incoming exchange students and equal academic treatment is always provided for incoming participants in line with the ECHE and also the University Academic Regulations. Upon completion of their studies, all incoming exchange students are provided with an academic transcript.The Outward Mobility Team was created during this project in 2015-16 to better streamline the exchange partnerships and to increase the number of outward mobility while the Education Abroad Team continue to manage and support the incoming students. By having two separate teams supporting outgoing and incoming mobility, we would be able to improve the way we manage mobility. The transition period has been challenging but we anticipate positive outcomes in the next year.

CAMERA (Coordination and support Action for Mobility in Europe: Research and Assessment) is the H2020-MG1.5 Mobility CSA. CAMERA objective is to assess and report on the status of air transport mobility research and innovation in Europe and its capabilities to accomplish the long term mobility goals. CAMERA will quantitatively and qualitatively: evaluate the executed research activities from the last decade on air mobility, identify the current and future gaps and innovation bottlenecks in the context of the mobility goals, and formulate appropriate recommendations. The performance framework and the innovative methodology comprises contextualising each project/initiative in terms of a multilayer, multifactor approach while using state-of-the-art tools in data management, text data mining and modelling. This integrated micro plus macro assessment approach have a heavy quantitative yet qualitative focus, which will allow us to appropriately track the progress of current EU research towards long term goals, such as the FlightPath2050 and the ACARE SRIA. The consortium is composed by Innaxis, University of Westminster, EUROCONTROL, Bauhaus Luftfahrt and DeepBlue, active members in ACARE groups (WG1, IRG and other WGs too). CAMERA partners are also involved- either coordinating or as full partners- in the recent mobility H2020 transport CSAs and mobility-related projects such as DATASET2020 and Mobility4EU, and in other successful ACARE CSAs: OPTICS and COREjetfuel. CAMERA will be supported by an ample Advisory board covering virtually all mobility subdomains, means of transport and stakeholders: manufacturers, operators, airports, ANSPs, industry, passengers, authorities, academia, rail transport, research, maintenance, urban transport. Three additional advisory board seats are pre-booked to interested ACARE WG1 members: one to its representative, and two ones to active WG1 members not yet part of consortium/advisory board
