Role EuroPACE: EuroPACE is - in cooperation with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - leader of the task force on e-coaching.
Summary: Mobility is at the heart of the Bologna Process. New numerical targets for Erasmus student mobility and new partnerships at local
level are more and more felt as essential for individual personal growth, for shaping European identity and citizenship and for
internationalization of HEIs. The relevance of student mobility in the Coimbra Group universities is witnessed by the fact that those universities “see” about
one fifth of the whole Erasmus mobility.
In this context, some CG universities together with other distinguished universities and partners have set up the EMQT project, which focuses
on promoting quality of Erasmus mobility through the development of monitoring and self-certification tools for the benefit of HEIs.
The project overall delivery should be prepared by the partners’ platform, through common debate, reflection and search for
agreement on procedures and indicators, within six lines of action, dealt with by specific Task Forces: general organisational models, language preparation, information and orientation, students' performances and recognition, reception of host students and e-coaching.
Main foreseen outputs:
- “Guidelines for good practice in Erasmus Mobility”, including a general mapping report, based on the TFs’ Guidelines
and mapping reports.
- “Quality Tools’ Box”, describing key-indicators and relative weights, possible Quality Patterns, Minimal Standards
identification,Positioning Scale, guidelines to improve positioning of concerned HEI, mechanisms/procedures of
institutional accountability (e.g. self-certification) and of external validation/assessment.
The results of the project will hopefully deeply impact on the quality of Erasmus students mobility in the Bologna Area, affecting
not only the involved partner universities, which nevertheless move quite a fraction of the EU total of Erasmus students, but also
their many mobility partners, the policies of the LLP agencies and of the QAAs,and last but not least the moving students and
their families as well.
