"CONTEXT/BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT: The University of Bradford (UB) strategy ""Making Knowledge Work 2016-2026"", the Learning & Teaching Strategy & the Work-Based Learning Strategy highlight the core of our mission: excellence, internationalization, employability, equality and diversity, and sustainability. We have our academic expertise themes: advanced healthcare, innovative engineering, and sustainable societies alongside these objectives. The UB has selected a network of strategic partners: robust organizations in the region with a strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusivity, with whom we create a relationship of trust and jointly coordinate strategic actions to our mutual benefit. From our partner's side, they engaged with the project by selecting participants aligned to their international strategies and academic needs.OBJECTIVES: the cooperation objectives were based on academic, employability and research strengths: support study abroad and practical research on Peace Studies programmes and Circular Economy to address critical topics of contemporary democracy and markets; on Engineering, Computer Science and Creative Technologies to address critical issues on Civil Engineering, Cybersecurity and AI; and on Pharmacy Engineering & Medical Sciences to address specific needs related to shortages of skills on participants home countries. On the ground, the activities were implemented as follows: 1) students joined programmes that are academically recognized and have strong employability skills focus; 2) participants were selected considering their academic performance, vulnerable backgrounds, diversity, and equality; 3) Erasmus students joined the University Alumni network. During the participant's exchanges abroad, several activities were offered to support the development of transversal & digital skills, autonomy, resilience, critical thinking, capacity for problem-solving, use of resources, employability skills and skills for excellent, innovative teaching and curriculum design.NUMBER AND TYPE/PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS: We have been awarded 57 mobilities for this project, and we have implement 71 (+14 mobilities; 125%), using 97.42% of the total funding awarded. To avoid issues with the visa processing for yearlong exchanges and where possible, we have agreed with our partners to implement only semester mobilities for studies and practical research. Many students joining were from a disadvantaged background, i.e., some obstacles (economic, cultural, geographical) were in place, and they couldn't have been abroad without the Erasmus financial support.DESCRIPTION OF UNDERTAKEN ACTIVITIES: Most of the inbound students (68%) doing modules at the UB took modules at level 6 (UG final year) or level 7 (PG level). In terms of grades and on average, these students scored 68% on their final mark. This shows a very positive result in academic performance and the level at which students were studying. The same can be said about the 32% of the students' learning modules at levels 4 and 5 (UG). On average, these students scored a mark of 70%. For participants joining for practical research related to their postgraduate programmes, we offered them the possibility of joining ongoing research projects and engaging with our current researchers. In terms of practical activities, we will use the research project ""Automotive Engineering Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning Applications"" as an example. Students contributed to the design of a prototype that aims to browse contents of a database in a multimedia manner; implemented the plan using an appropriate high-level language (Python, R, Java) and/or tool (Tableau, Weka, KNIME); tested the prototype; the opportunity was given to learn and research and co-author research publications.RESULTS AND IMPACT: A) PHARMACY: Graduates will be the leaders in local plants in various departments to assure the development and competition of Palestinian products. Being a competitive industry with a significant impact on the Palestinian society and people's wellbeing, the knowledge and skills acquired/developed at UB within Pharmaceutical Technology and Medicines Control MSc will have a short/medium impact once students enter the labour market.B) COMPUTER SCIENCE: the students from Russia and Jordan focused on cryptography, security technologies, computer communications and networks, object-orientated programming, database systems, etc. C) MANAGEMENT: the students from Egypt and Russia focused on understanding the use of resources and energy more effectively, reuse products and materials, and deliver increased profit for organizations.D) ENGINEERING: the students from Jordan focused on developing and designing processes that make valuable products for society by efficient use and management of resources including oil & gas, water and energy while controlling health and safety procedures and protecting the health and safety of the environment."
