Virtual Mobility Office - Connecting Coasts, Cultures & Classrooms
To support EUNICoast’s research and innovation objectives, the Virtual Mobility Office (VMO) provides a central gateway for staff and researchers to develop and manage international mobility across the 12 partner universities.
It helps academic and administrative staff to:
- access mobility opportunities and Erasmus+ funding schemes,
- organise and participate in teaching or training exchanges,
- set up Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) and joint projects,
- strengthen intercultural and linguistic skills through dedicated staff weeks,
- collaborate digitally with colleagues across Europe via shared tools and platforms.
The VMO ensures that every exchange, physical, virtual, or blended, is efficient, inclusive, and fully recognised within the EUNICoast network.
