The project has started three years ago with aim to support MUP students and staff with financial means for their mobilities across Erasmus+ countries. Hence the trendsto travel across Europe is rather decreasing in number of students mobilities so is the situation at Metropolitan university Prague. Based on those facts it has been decided to apply for rather lower total grant amount than in previous years to ensure that the means are going be distributed. On the other hand, due to the promotion activities the number of staffs that had been interested to participate on mobilities was more than 70 (to compare with previous years where approximate number of academic mobilities were 10 per academic year) as well as there was the interest of students therefore the requested amount of 450864 euro, approved by the National agency was considered as appropriate amount for MUP. During the 2019 we were able to send abroad on Erasmus+ mobility 24 staff and about 65 students on study stays and roughly 20 for traineeships. Due to the distribution of information there were about 70 students for study stays after the first selection round interested to participate on Erasmus+ exchange in 2020 as well as more than 60 staff. Some mobilities has been already planned and approved with partner universities and some Mobility agreements were already signed. Insomuch as the pandemics hit Europe early in 2020 most of the mobilities were cancelled due to travel restrictions and serious threat of the COVID19 virus. The 2020 brought a break to mobilities. Some students that left on their mobilities for summer semester early in 2020 has decided to stay in destinations of their mobilities, about half of the students came back to CZ either to finish the mobility online or start the semester with delay at MUP. The MUP management was very flexible and allowed those students to finish the semester with no restrictions not to cause any delay in their studies.The quantitative measures as described in the original project application has not been met due to the effect on the COVID 19 pandemics on mobilities and traveling in general. In the project application MUP has requested project of 24 months duration in the amount of 212 mobilities and a budget 393 464 EUR in total, OM excluded. Due to the pandemics MUP has applied for project extension last year and the National agency has extended the project for additional 12 months. Both parties have sign the amendment Nr. 2. The extension of the project brought the opportunity to include several more mobilities into the project among others traineeship mobilities and two more staff mobilities. In total MUP has realized 160 mobilities.
