The main goal of the project implemented in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme is to increase the degree of internationalization of educational activities, and to make it possible for the students to pursue their interests through studying and traineeships at partner institutions. The Erasmus+ programme implemented at the UL includes the mobility of students, teachers, and administrative staff, based on bilateral agreements with partner institutions, as well as actions that promote the mobility. It also includes the mobility of 28 university graduates, for traineeship and placement. The governing principle of the Erasmus+ actions is equality: the activities are targeted at participants of all cycles and modes of study, academic teachers, and staff of all central and faculty-level administration units. In the 2014-2015 academic year, the UL has implemented the mobility project based on more than 600 bilateral agreements. The outgoing mobility from the UL included 436 students (first, second, and third cycle combined) for study mobility in addition to further 60 students for placement mobility, 216 teachers, and 44 administrative staff. With most students, the mobility covered a period of either one semester (studies) or three months (placement), while 85 participants completed two semesters of study abroad. The mobility of academic or administrative staff typically lasted one week. The UL hosted 512 international students from 22 countries, 87 academic teachers, and several administrative staff. 35 incoming international students spent 2 successive semesters at the UL. The average participant profile is a female student of Humanities and Social Sciences. The overrepresentation of female students is an indication of a high degree of mobility and social activity of educated females. The high interest in studying Humanities seems to be a contradiction to the commonly held opinion that higher studies are mostly taken up for practical reasons such as responding to the need for specialists in multinational companies. The selection and recruitment of project participants (UL students and staff) was held in accord with procedures developed by the UL and based on accessible and transparent rules. The partner institutions were informed of the results by mutually agreed means. The UL outgoing students took classes in accord with the Learning Agreement for Studies prepared and signed in advance, and their outcomes abroad were counted in their UL study curriculum and included in their diploma transcript. The subject matter of classes conducted by the outgoing UL teachers was coordinated in advance, and the classes were then counted as parts of study programmes held at the partner institutions. International students were given access to the full range of English-taught programmes offered by the University of Lodz, as well as specific courses instructed in English and other foreign languages. The educational portfolio of the UL is enhanced by module courses designed specially for Erasmus+ participants, such as Polish Language, and Polish History and Culture. Activities supporting mobility under the Project include: language classes for outgoing students, preparation of printed and online materials, preparation and publication of the Polish History and Culture coursebooks, ESN support, and the Monitoring Visits mobility to partner institutions.The development of our University results in a systematic growth of the number of incoming students, especially from countries which have only rarely seen the UL as a mobility destination. The growing body of foreign students especially influences changes in education. There is an expansion of the range of study programmes, an increase to the number of English-instructed classes, and the growing body of teachers who educate and do research in the community of international students. Also, it is the attitude of UL students that changes: their aspirations, their need to speak a foreign language, and their confidence in unlimited self-development opportunities. The mobility serves to build the university?s potential, tighten the existing relationships with international partners, and seek futher options for internationalization. The benefits of mobility have long-term impact, not only on the individual participants? lives, but also on the university in its local and national environment. The new complex international projects yield long-term results for all the participants. Moreover, the programme results in increased development of intercultural competence of the local community of Lodz, especially in such areas as service, trade, and entertainment.Thus, the positive living experience in the academic city of Lodz contributes to breaking stereotypes, fighting discrimination, and building a stronger civil society.
