EN/FI: The University of Eastern Finland’s success in securing global mobility funding has enabled staff and student mobility for more than 550 individuals over the past decade.
The University of Eastern Finland has actively applied for Erasmus+ global mobility grants, with good success. Since 2015, the university has been awarded 2.8 million euros in global mobility funding, placing it among the top Finnish higher education institutions. The university has fared particularly well in calls organised under the current Erasmus+ programme, running from 2021 to 2027.
“Global mobility funding is crucial for supporting international mobility at the University of Eastern Finland, especially when it comes to building new collaborations in research and education. While individual grants may be modest, they have helped initiate many long-term partnerships,” Riikka Pellinen, Director of International Affairs, points out.
Global Development Manager Roseanna Avento recommends staff mobility as the first measure to be taken when universities are forging partnerships on the global arena.
“It’s important for staff to meet their counterparts face-to-face and learn about each other’s institutions. We need real-life interaction between people, beyond the digital world. Participating in a staff mobility is one of the easiest and most effective ways of meeting and building connections with your international partners and colleagues. This is how we bring different universities and fields of research together,” Roseanna Avento says, summing things up.
The visit by Professor Sunila Rai and Assistant Professor Rahul Ranjan of the Agriculture and Forestry University of Nepal to the Joensuu and Kuopio campuses of the University of Eastern Finland in September is a prime example of staff mobility facilitated by global mobility funding.
