Higher education student and staff mobility project

Description

Key Action KA103 has completed its third year at the TEI of Sterea Ellada (TEISTE) which emerged from the union of the TEI of Lamia and the TEI Chalkida in June, 2013. The ERASMUS Office of TEISTE, which is also the result of the merging between the respective ERASMUS Offices of the parent TEIs, managed to overcome the organization and functional problems caused by the merging as well as by the geographical diaspora of the TEISTE campuses in 5 cities of Sterea Ellada. The TEISTE ERASMUS Office supports the following activities: student mobility for studies and placements, teaching staff mobility for teaching and training, administrative staff mobility for training. We aim at a steady annual growth of the mobility so that the participation of our active student population reaches 1% by the year 2020. During 2015-2016, 18 students got an ERASMUS grant for studies, which corresponds to a reduction of 11%, and 10 students got an ERASMUS grant for placement which corresponds to a 67% increase. The student interest in traineeships is growing steadily since the beginning of the activity at the TEISTE while the mobility for studies is fluctuating around the same point. This is due to two reasons: a) It is not easy to match courses between our curricula and our partners' HEIs b) the financial problems faced by the majority of our students who often have to work to support themselves as well as their families and cannot stop working for 6 months to study abroad. Because the second factor is not expected to change in the forthcoming years, we feel that we have to readjust our goals for the mobility increase. Staff mobility was non existent in 2015-2016. Because of staff reductions over the past 6 years, both teaching and administrative staff are seriously overloaded which does not allow them time away from the office. The mobile students are mostly in the final year of studies and are represented uniformly with respect to gender and field of study. Overall, the implementation of ERASMUS activities at TEISTE so far is satisfactory as deduced by the student reports. The ERASMUS activities are expected to be enhanced by the 4 new graduate programmes. We must also comment on the impact the ERASMUS programme has on TEISTE's international visibility which is going to be further enhanced by the implementation, for the first time in 2016-2017, of International Credit Mobility (KA107) with West Balkan countries.
