Testing custom fields for past editions

The Student Mobility Summit “EWP Back to the Future” concluded its inaugural edition at the University of Barcelona (UB) with aplomb.

From January 30th to February 1st, 2024, the Summit, organised under the aegis of the UB-EUF University Internationalisation Hub, welcomed approximately 200 experts and professionals in Higher Education, digitalisation, and Erasmus+ from across Europe with the intention not only to present insights and analysis on the digitalisation of Erasmus+ but also to engage directly with the community and discuss its needs and expectations.

Prof. Raúl Ramos, Vice-Rector for Internationalisation Policy at the University of Barcelona, highlighted:

“The Summit represents a unique opportunity to exchange good practices in the field of digitalisation of processes related to the mobility of students”

– a point also reiterated by Rector Prof. Joan Guàrdia Olmos at the opening of the Summit.

Participant Voices

The workshops and hackathons were incredibly valuable, offering great information! I truly found this experience to be excellent!

I thoroughly enjoyed the programme, which covered a broad spectrum of topics in a relatively short period. The interactive format of the presentations, along with immediate feedback from participants, was incredibly valuable. The opportunity to discuss matters with representatives from various institutions enhanced the experience significantly.

The networking opportunities were particularly valuable and added to my overall satisfaction. The surroundings for this event—the venue, the catering, the support, and the city—were simply wonderful. Thank you for such a great experience!

It was a well-organised event, and I left feeling satisfied with the wealth of new knowledge I gained. I also had the pleasure of connecting with many wonderful people.

I really appreciated the organisation and the chance to connect with other higher education institutions to share experiences. The insightful explanations provided by the experts were a highlight for me.

[During the training] “specific problems were addressed with the right answers, which greatly assisted in solving long-standing daily challenges. I felt very satisfied with the practical solutions provided.
