Abstract

Erasmus mobility has become an important feature of higher education in Europe and beyond, with the potential to generate significant changes at individual, institutional and systemic levels. More than three decades after the foundation of this successful programme, evaluations reveal that, despite notable progress, several aspects of the Erasmus student experience can be further improved. Based on the lived experiences of Erasmus alumni, this article aims to understand the challenges that emerge in contexts of educational mobility and how they could be better addressed. Three key dimensions are identified in the qualitative accounts of former Erasmus students and analysed in light of previous research: mobility preparation, institutional support for integration, and recognition of study abroad. Concrete recommendations are made to policy and institutional actors on how to prepare and support Erasmus students during their international sojourns, ensuring that the positive outcomes often associated with international mobility are in fact attained.

伊拉斯谟流动性已成为欧洲及其他地区高等教育的一个重要特征，有可能在个人、机构和系统层面产生重大变化。在这一成功项目建立30多年后，评估显示，尽管取得了显著进展，但伊拉斯谟学生体验的几个方面仍有待进一步改善。基于伊拉斯谟校友的生活经历，本文旨在了解在教育流动背景下出现的挑战以及如何更好地解决这些挑战。在前伊拉斯谟学生的定性描述中确定了三个关键维度，并根据之前的研究进行了分析:流动性准备、对融合的制度支持和对海外学习的认可。就如何在伊拉斯谟学生的国际逗留期间为他们提供准备和支持，向政策和机构行为者提出了具体建议，确保通常与国际流动相关的积极成果实际上得到实现。
