UNICA Contact Persons/IRO meeting at the UNICA General Assembly 2022
The UNICA Contact Persons/IRO meeting in the framework of the UNICA General Assembly 2022 took place on 30 June 2022 at University College Dublin.
During the meeting, Catherine Convery, UCD Global Mobility Manager & Shane Lordan, UCD Global Projects Officer, introduced their institution and its mobility activities, and presented the DIGIPASS project, an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project designed to improve the impact of mobility experiences for students by providing a holistic approach to online mobility support.
The project consortium (which includes three UNICA members: University of Edinburgh, University College Dublin, and the University of Amsterdam), developed a unique online student training programme, incorporating a range of ICT tools and open educational resources, which support students during each stage of the mobility life cycle (orientation, pre-departure, during and after mobility). In addition, a staff toolkit was developed as part of the project, which aims to support both academic and administrative staff who are working in the area of mobility.
