The mobility consortium is coordinated by CEIMAR Foundation (International Campus of Excellence of the Sea) and composed of the Andalusian universities, from the coast of the region: Almería, Cádiz, Granada, Huelva, and Málaga. All of them with a wide academic and scientific experience in the field of studies of the Sea and strong defenders of the internationalization of higher education and the Erasmus program since its beginning. This consortium promotes the academic, research, cultural and linguistic training of students and staff through international mobility in countries of the European Union.CEIMAR's commitment to the Erasmus program is part of its Strategic Plan for Internationalization and the Campus of International Excellence Project. In order to comply with this strategy that allows to follow the path of international excellence in the marine-maritime field, as well as to optimize the academic and professional opportunities of the university community, CEIMAR is aware of the need to strengthen relations with Education Institutions European superiors through the development of mobility projects. The 2017 project includes a total of 76 mobilities, distributed among 44 studies, 23 practices, 7 for teaching and 2 for training.A total of 12 mobilities have been executed: 6 for Master and Doctorate studies, 2 for internships, 1 for teaching staff and 3 for training staff.In this regard, it must be said that the results obtained in this project are not desirable at all because of the mobility consortium that is committed to the Erasmus + program as a driver and enhancer of the international activity of CEIMAR.These results have been the result of a series of incidents produced in the organizational structure of the management body of CEIMAR that caused a slowdown in the implementation of the project in the period in which the 2017 project is framed. One of the triggers of these results was the absence of personnel since March 2017, motivated by the change of the technician's employment relationship with the Foundation, which left the square, which caused the operation of the project management to be paralyzed. Another reason for the low level of execution was the voluntary termination of the Foundation's manager in August 2018, which ended up paralyzing all the activity carried out. This situation led to the lack of legal representative of the entity that negatively influenced the proper functioning of the approved mobilities. To resolve this situation, a selection process was initiated immediately after the technician was able to resolve the lack of personnel as soon as possible, as well as the beginning of the appointment of a new legal representative to unlock the progress of the activity of CEIMAR, a once approved by the Executive Committee of the Foundation. The new staff was incorporated in mid-July 2018 while the appointment of the new legal representative could not be ready until October 2018. The project was finally launched in December 2018 with the publication of two calls for the mobility of studies (Master and Doctorate) and internships, since the degree programs were not feasible at the end of the nomination period of the partner universities. To call for studies, 20 applications were submitted, of which 6 were awarded due to the resignation of the other applicants. Regarding the call for practices, 7 applications were submitted, of which 5 resigned, and only 2 could be awarded.From the call for staff, all the applications submitted were awarded, that is, 4 mobilities. From CEIMAR, it is wanted to state that this situation has been punctual and that at present the mobility projects both KA107 of 2017 and those of 2018 (KA103 and KA107) are marching with total normality when the situation that has caused the Low level of execution of this project. The current situation of CEIMAR is completely normalized and its operation is going favorably. In this regard and as a result of its strong commitment to collaboration with European universities, CEIMAR is established as an associated partner in the proposed University of the Seas, SeaEU, which has recently been approved by the European Commission, led by the University of Cádiz that She is also the coordinator of the mobility consortium. Thus, CEIMAR has another potential, which promotes the internationalization of education and broadens the range of institutions with which to develop teaching and research projects. In relation to the Erasmus + program, CEIMAR has set 2 main improvement objectives- Provide the mobility of specialization as an added value to them.- Increase quality and efficiency in the management of mobility.
