• maximising mobility opportunities, e.g. by expanding partnerships beyond Europe or by providing opportunities for a short(er)-term study abroad
• enhancing (foreign) language learning;
• strengthening cooperation with enterprises, e.g. by improving the offer of work placements for students and staff.
