  1. Experiences of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, with EM A2 projectsAo.Univ.Prof.i.R. Dr. W. Pleschberger

  2. WHY ??? - Reasons for BOKU to participate in EM A2 projects • Central Asia = one of the focus regions of our strategy for internationalization • One of BOKU’s strategic goals is to increase incoming and outgoing student and staff mobility • Therefore, BOKU co-ordinated and participated in 18 EM A2 projects in Russia, South East Asia and Latin America since 2007

  3. Benefits of EM A2 projects for BOKU 1/2 • EM consortia = built on previously existing co-operation agreements with EU and Non-EU partners, but expanded to new universities • new agreements, new projects – sustainable + long-lasting • Increased “internationalization at home” through the incomings • Increased international experience and intercultural skills for BOKU staff and students, particularly the mobile persons

  4. Benefits of EM A2 projects for BOKU 2/2 • Several EM A2 scholarship holders are still / now working in important positions at their home universities • “BOKU Ambassadors” - contributing to improved collaboration between their institution and BOKU • Increased know-how about foreign grading systems to facilitate recognition procedures • Improved procedures for monitoring academic success of incoming students

  5. Drawbacks / Lessons learnt • In some cases less mobilities / shorter duration than originally planned due to the long duration of obtaining residence permits for Austria • Different points of view concerning reporting procedures required by mobile persons and details of auditing files to be submitted • Challenges for continuing the co-operation: ERASMUS+ International Mobility reduces the EM A2 networks to bilateral connections with low numbers of mobilities that have to be planned a long time in advance.
