"The university’s internationalisation efforts aim to make international perspectives the norm in our courses and programmes, to help students learn more foreign languages and to obtain a high level of intercultural competence and to make education and internationalisation accessible to everyone. Karlstad University´s strategy for internationalisation is described in the university´s strategic vision for 2030. Based on the university´s strategy, a number of success factors have been identified. These factors further promote quality, safeguard continued success and facilitate dynamic change in keeping with social challenges. In order to realise the strategic goal, a number of activities are conducted at the university, both at central as well as faculty/departmental level, in accordance with ""Karlstad University´s Action Plan for Internationalisation, 2020-2023"". The university’s participation in the Erasmus+programme contributes to students and staff enhancing the European identity not only through the sharing of experiences, professional development, collaborations and quality-enhancing efforts for the university, but also through the personal development of everyone involved and the creation of affinity between people. With the support of the Erasmus+ Programme, bridges can be built between universities, organisations and countries, which form important functions for communities both within and outside of Europe. The university plays a great role on this, which is particularly important to communicate to students and staff. The university’s participation in the Erasmus+ Programme contributes to a high level of quality in terms of education, professional development and increased participation in a number of various international networks and programmes. The university recruits internationally, works in a growing number of international environments and is becoming an increasingly globalised university. Developing the international competence of employees, offering international elements in study programs and promoting an expanded range of courses taught in English are priorities for Karlstad University. Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the university develops education and research together with valuable international partners, engages in collaborations for the future on environmentally sustainable initiatives. An intensification of international cooperation for the future is planned to achieve the objectives of the university’s governance documents, where participation in the Erasmus+ Programme is of utmost importance. Karlstad University aims to promote and broaden the recruitment to programmes and courses at both first and second cycle level as well as third cycle level. The university’s action plan for broader recruitment outlines which activities the university intends to work on to promote broader recruitment and broader participation. Under this specific Erasmus+ project Karlstad University has aimed for an increased involvement to support international mobility. In order to do so the university collaborate with a number of international networks, for example Compostela Group of Universities, including different initiatives like administrative international exchange which initially started under the STELLA administrative exchange programme and gradually developed and increase under the Erasmus+ programme. We have managed to inrease the the mobility for administrative exchange and we can see that the initiative for development in English competency has had a positive impact, which we hope in the future will lead to also an increase of the number of Teacher Assignments. Also the number of student exchanges increased since last year. The number of Erasmus+internships has increased severly since last year and is higher than the applied amount. We see this as a positive consequence of that more and more disciplines prepare their study programmes with elements of pracitcal studies and possibilities to offer students internship in other countries."
