European projects – as tools for increasing academic/students mobility and learning enhancement through innovative pedagogical approaches

Higher education is faced nowadays with great challenges related to preservation and improvement of quality in teaching, the use of new technologies and new pedagogical approaches, equal access to studies, improving staff and student mobility, and employability of graduates. Therefore, it is the aim of many existing or future projects to provide solutions to these challenges. In this paper two European projects: CARIBU (Erasmus Mundus Action 2) and IMPROPAL (Erasmus KA2-Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good practices Strategic partnerships for higher Education) in which the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania was involved as partner will be presented as examples of best practice for increasing student and academic mobility exchanges and for learning enhancement through innovative pedagogical approaches.
