"Mälardalen University (MDH) considers the Erasmus+ project to be a very important part of it's internationalisation since the program offers the possibility for students, teachers and staff to spend time at a partner university as well as living an everyday life abroad. Through such experience all participants acquire an intercultural understanding, knowledge, reflections and objectives that cannot be obtained in an equal way through regular classes or meetings at home. For our students who do not participate in the programme, it is of great value that their teachers go on an exchange so that they can bring back new teaching methods and also new knowledge that can be applied at MDH, while teachers who do not participate in the program gain a better understanding with cultural differences in their encounters with students and colleagues from other countries. The Erasmus+ project also helps the University to increase the ""internationalisation at home"" through all incoming students and staff who enrichen the academic environment with different cultures, background knowledge, perspectives and input. The objective for MDH with the Erasmus+ project is to widen the perspective of its own students, staff and teachers through both exchange, collaboration and ""internationalisation at home"" as well as that students should study courses relevant to their study programs that can be transferred/be fully recognized towards their degree. During the project period 2018-2020 Mälardalen University had 102 outgoing SMS Erasmus+ students, an increase of 45 students from the previous period. The most popular countries for this call were the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, partners whom we have had a long and successful collaboration with. These countries popularity as exchange destinations are due to the fact that our partner universities there have a good reputation, they offer courses in English and have a range of courses that make the exchange easier. Their programs are also similar to the programs at MDH. We also had 1 SMP student that went to the Czech Republic, 2 STT's who went to Finland, Ireland, Norway and Romania and the rest to the Netherlands and Portugal. Our 11 teachers (STA) that participated in the program taught in for example the Czech Republic, Austria and the United Kingdom. The project has overall been successful for the university where the objectives concerning quality as well as the objectives set out by MDH itself have been met even though the quantitative objectives where not met in full. For example, more efforts are required regarding the marketing of the programme's opportunities for traineeship to our students. As we see a great value in participating in an exchange, it is important for us to encourage both students and staff to take part of the Erasmus+ program. We therefore work actively on finding ways to increase the number of participants as well as to reduce late dropouts among other things.The University has used the organisational support to:•Visit partner universities to further deepen collaborations, monitoring and evaluating mobility activities•Meetings with and preparatory visits to potential partner universities•Top up scholarship levels•Work with Learning Agreements and recognition•Preparation, monitoring and evaluation of student and teacher mobility•Selection and preparation- or introductory activities and other support•Production and distribution of information regarding the exchange•Participation in conferences on the Erasmus+ program.MDH has received 235 495 euro for the Erasmus+ call 2018-2020 and spent 91.90 % of the total budget. Both student mobility for studies and staff mobilty for training have been greater than expected,100.66% and 101.69%, exceeding the budget allocated for these activities. The discrepencies are to be taken from funds left in the budget for student mobility for traineeships and staff mobility for teaching."
