Recommendations (For national governments and EU decision makers)

Student mobility subsequently enhances labor mobility!Therefore European policy makers & stakeholders should support international mobility by:• Ensuring funding• Institutional support• Early promotion (e.g. "Erasmus in Schools")• Timely and adequate information provision



Encourage the use of mobility programs as a tool to enhance employability, personal development, enriching societies and creating European unity and citizenship.Simplify procedures for students and graduates to work abroad. Where applicable, visas requirements and residence permits should be designed to facilitate access to a traineeship experience abroad.



Implement new support services for graduates who move abroad and help them with legal issues and provide essential information. University career services should be open towards international job offerings.Environment related behavior changes according to availability: we recommend schemes of adapting best environment practices from our neighbors in Europe.
