This Erasmus+ project entitled “MIX IT” funded 126 students of all fields of study from twelve partner universities who carried out Erasmus+ internships in all of the program countries. In order to support students from wide-range of academic disciplines, the internships were specifically designed to meet the students’ scholastic needs, individual interests, and career goals. Further specific measures were taken to ensure that the internship is of high quality. The departmental advisors of the sending universities worked closely together with the students and the host organizations in determining the content of the internship as well as in providing advisory support and academic recognition of the internships. Each participant demonstrated good foreign language skills and an intercultural preparation prior to receiving an Erasmus grant. The internships took place in enterprises, in particular in SMEs, as well as in a wide variety of cultural, social and research institutions. A large number of the host organizations have cooperated in earlier Erasmus and Leonardo Mobility projects.Additionally, this Erasmus+ “MIX IT” project funded 9 Staff Mobility Exchanges (STT). All staff members of the partner universities undertook training activities and/or job shadowing periods at enterprises, institutions or organizations abroad in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Spain and UK. These mobility activities transpired congruent to existing Staff Mobility activities at each partner university.The EU Liaison Office assisted students and university staff in finding suitable internships and training programs by means of its online database comprised of more than 900 offers from companies and organizations throughout Europe. Moreover, the EU Liaison Office is active in numerous national and international networks that can offer new contacts for internships abroad, support services, and assistance in finding housing. All of the host organizations were required to follow the Erasmus Quality Charter, the “MIX IT” Consortia Project Quality Requirements and to offer participants formal written certification upon completion. The project website also provided the participants with extensive information on the countries of destination, suggestions for finding and organizing internships abroad as well as information on the prerequisites for participation and all necessary documents to apply for an Erasmus grant. In addition, the EU Liaison Office has an online discussion forum that facilitated communication between prospective participants and current and/or former and Erasmus participants.The project coordinator together with the representatives at each partner university ensured that the content of the internships met the quality criteria of the project as well as all of the formal criteria of the Erasmus+ program. The proposed internship had to clearly indicate that the student will pursue a well-defined strategy to further his/her academic and professional qualifications. The content quality of the internship and the support services serve to improve the knowledge, abilities and competency levels of all participants. Upon completion, the students received academic recognition as well as certification from the host organization and an Erasmus+ Certificate from the EU Liaison Office at the Leibniz University Hannover. Together these documents confirm the student’s practical work experience, personal development and acquired skills and competences, and later prove to be advantageous for opening up future career opportunities.Furthermore, this project significantly contributed to the internationalization strategies of all partner institutions. Internships abroad generated an influx of experience in enterprises and organizations throughout Europe that not only raised the participants’ awareness and understanding of other cultures, but also benefited the universities and enterprises. These Internships and Staff Exchanges can facilitate an expansion of the partner universities’ and host organizations international networks and create new synergies that will foster transnational exchanges of knowledge and praxis. This can lead to improvements in business practices as well as in university teaching. All stakeholders will be sensitized to the importance of lifelong learning in an intercultural context and of the freedom of movement throughout Europe. In effect, participating students and staff members acted as intercultural mediators between universities and enterprises and organizations throughout Europe, thus in effect, they contributed to greater transparency in higher education in Europe and support the development of an EU-labor market.
