sign_the_petition.jpg I share the vision of an European Higher Education Area where students and teachers move freely across borders without time-intensive, costly and complicated procedures. I want a European higher education area where every student and teacher regardless of socio-economic background, disability, gender, religion or nationality can afford to go abroad. I want every student and teacher who is mobile to be able to fully take part in the society.

I want to sign the petition on staff and student mobility!

Let's go!

Join us in our campaign for the Full Mobility of Higher Education and Research Staff and Students in Europe!!

Mobility Barometer

 

Students and teachers have a right to be mobile. Students and teachers who want to spend a period of time abroad should be able to do so across the European continent without obstacles. ESU and EI want equal chances and equal access to knowledge and education for all, based on personal interest and capacity, including academic mobility.

However, mobility for all students and staff is far from being a reality in Europe today. After many years of discussion and reforms, students and higher education personnel are staying at home, because of the many barriers to mobility. In order to increase student and staff mobility, the needs of students and staff themselves must be taken into account.

Therefore it is time to act!

ESU and EI have launched this campaign to ensure that students and teacher voices are heard across Europe.  Our campaign aims at bringing the issues that teachers and students face when going abroad to study; teach or research to the centre of political debate. We want to see mobility becoming a reality and not only a proclaimed goal. Read more.

EU support for increased mobility
ERA logoCareers and mobility, international co-operation, research infrastructures, joint programming and knowledge sharing are today's main concerns of European research actors, according to a report just published by the European Commission. The report draws on over 1000 responses to a public consultation on the Green Paper "The European Research Area: New Perspectives" published in April 2008.

The European Commission is not only engaged in the creation of a European Higher Education Area, but also launched a process in 2000 to create a European Research Area (ERA) - consisting of the EU members.  The ERA should increase the research capacity in the EU as well as making the EU more attractive and competitive in research and development.

In a report published in April 2008, researcher's careers and mobility is, alongside international cooperation and infrastructures, identified as the most important areas for action at the EU level. According to the report there is also significant support for considering legislative action to improve the careers and mobility of researchers. As a result of the consultation on the ERA Green Paper, a specific initiative regarding the promotion of researcher's careers and mobility will be launched in the coming months.
