We would like to convey a message from the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) about a new study on personalised assistance (support services) provided to mobile academics in Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
This study is conducted in the framework of the Erasmus+ UniWelIS project, which brings together ACA, the Slovak Academic Exchange Agency (SAIA), the Polish Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), Sofia University, the University of Nis and Comenius University in Bratislava.
It will explore the needs of mobile researchers and PhD students in personalised assistance during their mobility (study, visit or employment) experience in one of these countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. This important research will support their work on a model welcome service framework and an open access training programme for higher education institutions, thereby contributing to quality support services for mobile researchers in Europe and to raising Europe’s attractiveness for international talent.
This study is performed by means of an online survey for international researchers and PhD students who currently work or study at a higher education institution in Poland or who studied or worked there in the past five years (with a minimum length of stay being 3 months).
ACA will of course be happy to share the results of their study/survey with you and to zoom in on the expressed needs of MSCA researchers in personalised assistance in case of further interest.
For any further questions, please contact Veronika Kupriyanova (veronika.kupriyanova@aca-secretariat.be ).
