The global call to action on sustainable development transitions higher education from the traditional ‘ivory tower’, discipline-oriented paradigm into one of innovative problem solving and creating sustainable solutions. The new paradigm takes on the interplaying sustainability issues in an inter-trans-disciplinary, holistic fashion, and fostering and enabling this paradigm shift entails mainstreaming and institutionalizing academic mobility into higher education, thereby enriching academic offerings.
There are various forms of academic mobility programmes in higher education. This summary report reflects and highlights the results of a survey conducted during December 2022 to January 2023 by the ProSPER.Net Expert Advisory Panel on Academic Mobility Programme and the subsequent discussions at the Workshop on Academic Mobility held on 28 April 2023 organised by the Panel.
