EU-GRAD
INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR
Learning & training mobility in
Europe: Drivers for total mobility of university graduates
15 November 2011
Fundación CIFF - Eloy Gonzalo, 3 - 28010 Madrid
PROGRAMME
Increasing employability and
mobility of young graduates is a clear priority for the
European Commission, as well as for European business,
higher education institutions, and many other organizations
which support and foster schemes with this objective in mind.
However, there are many barriers that hinder full
development of “total mobility” of EU postgraduate students
wishing to undergo transnational training or work
programmes.
The EU-GRAD project, funded
under the European Union Lifelong Learning Programme, was
conceived to identify these barriers and develop guidelines
and recommendations to facilitate total mobility for
postgraduate students across Europe through a combined
training + internship model based on strong university-business
cooperation.
This seminar will not only
serve to present the results of the National Case Studies (France,
Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain) and Conclusion Report
carried out by the EU-GRAD consortium in the first semester
of 2011, but also as an open forum where participants will
have the opportunity to debate about current mobility trends
in Europe. Open discussion and brain-storming on the
barriers to total postgraduate mobility and the possible
guidelines and drivers needed to overcome them will be at
the core of the workshops to be held in Madrid.
The objective is to exchange
ideas, good practices and evidence-based conclusions on
postgraduate learning + training mobility, and to obtain
useful input for the development of the next stages of the
EU-GRAD project:
-
identification of
mechanisms and procedures needed to achieve total
postgraduate mobility
-
elaboration of proposals
and recommendations to promote total mobility across the
EU
-
develop the framework and
design the guidelines and content for a EU postgraduate
learning + training mobility programme based on close
university-business cooperation
-
set up an online
university-business network community on EU mobility
experiences and good practices
The seminar will be open to
all mobility stakeholders interested in promoting and
contributing to total learning + training mobility schemes
across the EU: EC officials, government and public
administration policy makers, university staff and
professors, career centre and business representatives, HR
professionals, students and graduates.
