TOWARDS AN ARAB MOBILITY PROGRAMME • Well known procedures after more than 25 years of Erasmus (inter-institutional agreements, application forms, learning agreements, transcript of records, etc.) • Language
Issues in the ARAB MOBILITY PROGRAMME • South- North and South-South Mobility
Issues in both Erasmus+ and new Arab Mobility programme • Visas • High quality teaching and administrative Staff Exchanges • Recognition of the credits • Conversion of the grades • “Mobility without paper”
Thinking of a successful name for the ARAB MOBILITY PROGRAMME • The name of the programme could be chosen after one of the many important figures of the Arab Culture. • Some of them such as Averroès', Ibn Rushd, Ibn Battuta, etc, were already used for other programmes but could be reproposed for this larger scale initiative • http://www.averroes.fr/en/ • http://www.battuta.eu/ • http://www.ibn-rushd.org/
Strategic choice • Consortia like in Erasmus Mundus action 2 or Inter-Institutional agreements like in Erasmus+?
