physical mobility with a virtual
component facilitating a Provide new and more flexible mobility
formats as well as innovative ways of
collaborative online learning learning and teaching
exchange and teamwork. The virtual
component must bring the learners
together online to work collectively Reach to all types of students in all study
fields
and simultaneously on specific
assignments that count towards the
overall learning outcomes. Practice a multidisciplinary, challenged
based and international approaches as
well as more flexible curricula
04/12/2019 Opetushallitus 20New feature: Short-term mobility for PhD Students Objectives of short term physical mobility for doctoral candidates • Equal opportunities regardless of student/staff status • More flexibility and better tailored mobility periods • More opportunities for learning a range of transversal skills, working with foreign advisers on the thesis, training in presenting scientific information, acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, establish valuable contacts in Europe and beyond and for finding post-doctoral opportunities 04/12/2019 Opetushallitus 21

KA2 Cooperation Partnerships in HE
• Decentralised Action, managed by National Agencies
• Main aim: HE quality and relevance
• Close links to policy and priorities at European and national level
• Developing and sharing results/deliverables, creating networks and developing joint
activities, events etc.
Funding model
• Single lump sum covering project management and implementation, including
production and sharing of deliverables
• Pre-defined lump-sum rates based on overall project size: mid and high-value
• Applications describe the efforts and resources that the applicants commit for the
lump sum amount
• Proportionality: more expensive projects require more detailed description and
higher level of ambition

Digital Roadmap
• Use of EWP to transfer data will become gradually mandatory in the next Erasmus
programme
• 2021: Inter‐institutional agreements and Online learning agreements
• 2022: Nominations
• 2023: Transcripts of records
• Timescale depends on systems being fully tested by higher education institutions
and confirmed fit for purpose!
04/12/2019 Opetushallitus 35Joining EWP
• Three ways
• If you use an inhouse mobility management system, connect it to the EWP
network using free plug-ins (APIs).
• If you are using a third-party software solution your supplier should be
adding connection to the EWP network soon – ask them for details.
• If you do not have a mobility management system, or do not want to
connect your in-house system to the EWP Network, then you can get access
via the web-based, single-point-of-entry, the Erasmus Without Paper
Dashboard.
