Abstract

There are numerous research on the experiences of academic mobility in Europe, fueled by the Erasmus program and its effects. These studies found multiple evidence that these activities have a positive impact in individual, institutional and political level. According to these studies, the student mobility contributes to the personal development of individuals with a wide range of values, competencies and skills increasingly valued by employers. Additionally, mobility has decisively promoted the internationalization of higher education institutions, contributing to their modernization and innovation. Finally, learning abroad contributes to the socio-political development, creating a greater awareness European and supports European economies by encouraging the development of a market for highly qualified international job.
