International student mobility
The EHEA has prioritised international student mobility since the beginning of the Bologna Process, with recent efforts including the European Commission's endorsement of the "Europe on the Move" initiative aiming to increase learning mobility, address barriers, and promote sustainability. However, socio-economic factors continue to influence participation, especially among those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, potentially exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, findings in the chapter at hand show that social inequalities in international student mobility persist, favouring students with parental academic backgrounds. Additional (and at least partly interrelated) factors like migration background, parental financial status, and field of study influence mobility participation. Financing remains the major obstacle for studies abroad, highlighting the need for targeted support programs. While Erasmus+ is popular for organising study periods abroad, internships are often independently organised. A rise in other, unspecified activities abroad potentially reflects students' adaptations to the COVID-19 pandemic.
