Making Mobility the Norm – NORM
The NORM project is a European initiative which will strive to challenge institutional barriers to embed student mobility in study programmes at HEIs, namely curricula design and accreditation procedures. The project also aims to develop an IT solution that will facilitate finding equivalences of courses and curricula between HEIs.
Students
Benefit from the improved student mobility and well-matched exchange opportunities.
Higher Education Institutions
Support in the evaluation and adaptation of their curricula and cooperation networks to implement mobility opportunities for all their students.
Policy Makers
Be involved in the debate of the curricula development and shape future elements of the Erasmus+ programme according to the recommendations of the NORM project.
