C-extended : Extending the erasmus experience beyond mobility

• The EU innovation effort to address grand societal challenges is facing an increasing divide. The C-Extended Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project has the vision to help join this divide by extending the Erasmus experience beyond geographical mobility. It aims to enable stronger contamination between diverse knowledge domains on the one hand, and to foster tighter cooperation between higher education institutions and public/private organizations on the other hand. To this end, mobility opportunities have been explored and piloted through a new mobility scheme, called IIBMS, that results from evolution of existing programmes combined with blended learning, in order to engage students in interdisciplinary and intersectoral educational paths. This paper presents this scheme and discusses the rationale of the design, the current state of development and the prospective outcome of the project.
