About this project

<p><em>The EEA mobility project is part of UAIC's internationalization strategy by extending cooperation with higher education institutions in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The project aims to continue and strengthen the academic mobility network between "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iași and universities in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein in order to achieve excellence in the field of education and research, by identifying the key themes for cooperation, capitalizing on complementary competencies and offering synergies essential for the progress and mutual benefit of the universities involved.The EEA mobilities will provide students with the possibility to aquire specialized knowledge not only in their study fields but also on the cultures/societies of all countries involved, meaningful experience and linguistic proficiency which will be used as assets in their future jobs.The project is expected to increase visibility of universities at international level. Academic exchanges within this program are essential for the internationalization strategy of UAIC and partner universities, as they offer valuable opportunities in choosing partners for future educational, research and institutional development projects.The target groups are represented, on the one hand, by the UAIC academic community (students, professors and administrative staff, as potential beneficiaries of outgoing mobilities) and, on the other, by the academic community from partner universities in the Donor States (students, professors and administrative staff, as potential beneficiaries of incoming mobilities).Donor partners are higher education institutions and private institutions in EEA countries. Both HEIs and private institutions will play the role of host institutions for UAIC students and staff. Only HEIs will act as home institutions for students and staff benefitting from mobilities at UAIC.</em></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

During the previous EEA projects, UAIC has witnessed a great desire for students to have academic experiences in the EEA outside the EU. This desire can be illustrated, for example, by the large number of students enrolled in the optional Norwegian language course every year and by the large number of applications and mobilities in the former EEA Programmes. Donor partners are higher education institutions and private institutions (mainly hotels, where students can carry out placement mobilities) in EEA countries. Both HEIs and private institutions played the role of host institutions for UAIC students and staff. Many of the Donor partners shared their knowledge and experience regarding procedures and work methods within the project, they proposed and initiated activities within the project, they were available as experts to provide advice when needed and they facilitated contacts between different institutions, even if these institutions were not directly involved in the project. Our staff learned from the donor partners’ expertise and they improved their practices thanks to the cooperation with donor partners. The bilateral collaboration is planned to continue, both through the EEA Grants and through the Erasmus+ Programme.
