  2. What did I say last year? New evolutions? What do I expect form ECST-Ma? Presentation of the Med-MOTION project - 21.09

  3. What? Project Life Long Learning Programme Duration: 3 three years (1/10/2011 – 30/09/2014) Cooperation with partners of other European projects, such as CHarMe and IMS2020 projects – Charité: project coordinator Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013

  4. Med-Motion Partners Universiteit Antwerpen (coordinator) Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin Karolinska Institute Stockholm Paris Descartes University of Sacre Cuore Rome Semmelweis University Budapest University of Edinburgh EMSA- Antwerp (Students organisation) Brussels Education Services Belgium (monitoring role) FEAM (Federation of European Academies of Medicine) (Dissemination role) Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013

  5. Purpose • EC projects: Med-Motion: to increase Mobility of students and staff → administrative and academic in a framework which allows - more in depth collaboration - at a smaller scale, complementary to TN - full engagement of partners Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013

  6. Innovative character Active involvement of students student organisation EMSA is partner Important role of faculty leadership Presentation of the Med-MOTION project - 21.09

  7. From Desk Research toMobility Work Plan • = The main objective of the 1st working year of Med-MOTION • Basis • outcomes of Charme project: curriculum overview • Desk Research : surveys done by students & administrative staff during the 1st semester of work year 2011–2012 • a short survey on academic mobility in a small group of academics • revealed problems + obstacles Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 7

  8. The problems • Revealed problems: • The lack of standardisation in registering student mobility • The ambiguity of terminology • Proposed solutions: • Focus on the ERASMUS mobility upcoming standard (3 months or 15 ECTS) • Agree upon a glossary in MWP Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 8

  9. The obstacles • Revealed obstacles: • Differences between curricula • Language barriers • Procedures • Recognition/fear of study delay • Financial barriers • Cfr. Results of ESN study report 2011 Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 9

  10. Main focus: student mobility Desk Research mainly concentrated on student mobility Basic concept: Academic & administrative mobility follows student mobility But: Further concrete actions on academic & administrative mobility to be undertaken Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 10

  11. How to proceed The importance of the Deans’ Meeting The need for a faculty strategy on mobility Are we ready to opt for unconventional solutions? Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 11

  14. (Un)Conventional solutions • Examples of conventional solutions are: • Working on a correct use of ECTS rules • Trying to eliminate administrative obstacles as much as possible • Improving communication procedures Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 14

  15. Readyforunconventionalsolutions? • Conventional solutions are necessary but not enough • More profound cooperation with preferential partners is desirable • Prof. Van Royen (Dean of UAntwerp) suggested and discussed unconventional examples of further cooperation Presentation of Med-MOTION project – Pavia 03/05/2013 15
