Relevance of the strategy.

Explain why the planned mobility project is relevant to the internationalisation strategy of the higher education institutions involved (both NMBU's strategy and the partner institution's strategy).

Your answer should be specific about the following:
- Explain why you want to foster mobility
- Explain the preference given to your choice of region/country
- Is there any institutional policy favouring the cooperation with this region/country?
- Explain why the planned mobility project is relevant to NMBU's internationalisation strategy.
- Explain why the planned mobility project is relevant to the internationalisation strategy of the partner institution(s).

Try to provide "quantifiable information" on the profile of selected partner, such as:
- Size and influence in a particular area
- Complementarity of faculties/departments involved
- Similarity of study programmes

Try to distinguish the specific aims for choosing mobility of students and/or staff.

In case of new cooperation agreements, also:
- Explain why building cooperation with a new region/country is relevant for your institution. *
Quality of the cooperation arrangements

Detail your previous experience of similar projects with higher institutions in this Partner Country, if any, and explain how, for the planned mobility project, responsibilities, roles and tasks will be defined in the Inter-institutional Agreement.

Mention both good and bad experiences with similar projects in this Partner Country.
Benefits? Challenges to be aware of?

Remember to mention:
Will you offer language courses?
What will be the language of instruction?
How does the academic calendars match? Are they online?
How does the grading system work?
Who will be the contact persons on both sides, and why?
Who will be responsible for managing the project? *
Quality of project design and implementation.

Present the different phases of the mobility project and summarise what partner organisations plan in term of selection of praticipants, the support provided to them and the recognition of their mobility period (in particular in the Partner Country).

Indicate how many students you plan to send at each study level (short, first, second or third cycle) and for how many days.

Try to organise this section around the 3 phases of the mobility period: Before, During and After.

What is offered to the students/staff during the different phases? By whom?

Mention the completeness and quality of arrangements for the selection, support and recognition (including for staff), both at your institution and at the partner institution. How will the participants be selected? Will they receive support for insurance/visa/housing? What kinds of facilities are available to the participants (libraries, computer classes etc.)? How many credits or equivalent units will they receive? How will the institutions capitalise on the mobility experience of staff?

Try to address the additional support for disadvantaged people, language training, cultural integration activities, etc. - if planned.

Will participants receive language courses?

Will there be social and integration activities?

Give an indicative timeline for each activity. *
Impact and dissemination.

Explain the desired impact of the mobility project on participants, beneficiaries, partner organisations and at local, regional and national levels.

Describe the measures which will be taken to disseminate the results of the mobility project at faculty and institution levels, and beyond where applicable, in both the Programme and the Partner Countries. Be specific about the expected outcomes of the mobility project.

What is the wxpected impact on the different stakeholders (e.g. what skills will the participants aquire)? How will the outcomes be measured, evaluated and shared?

How will you know whether you have achieved the desired and expected impacts?

Describe what dissemination activities you intend to carry out and through which channels.

Do you have means to measure success and disseminate results (e.g. surveys, newsletters, alumni networks etc.)? If not, how will you develop them? Will you work together with your partner?

Explain who will benefit from the dissemination of the project results. Will you keep the dissemination activity at the university level or not? What about your partner? *
