Erasmus ECHO – Mobility Promotion Event at Kozminski University
On 28 January 2026, a student-oriented mobility event entitled Erasmus ECHO was organised at Kozminski University. The initiative targeted students interested in participating in international mobility programmes, particularly Erasmus exchanges. The event gathered over 200 student participants, with 26 students engaged in organisational support and implementation.
The event provided general information on available mobility destinations, exchange pathways and practical aspects of studying abroad. Country-themed stands were managed by students who had previously completed exchanges and shared first-hand experiences related to academic systems, cultural adaptation and daily life abroad. The International Relations Office (IRO) was present to offer formal guidance concerning application procedures, documentation requirements and administrative regulations.
Within this framework, EUonAIR ensured an active and structured presence aligned with the objectives of WP5 – AI-Assisted Holistic Mobility. The project was represented by WP5 team members (Adrian Traczyk - Welcome (Back) Point Coordinatior & Magdalena Gawrońska - Manager HMSC) and Welcome Point student volunteers operating within the EUonAIR mobility ecosystem.
EUonAIR’s contribution focused primarily on strengthening the strategic and developmental dimension of mobility. During direct consultations, representatives presented the objectives of the alliance, emphasising mobility enhancement, cross-institutional cooperation and the holistic support model developed under WP5. Students were informed how EUonAIR complements institutional Erasmus structures through integrated support mechanisms, competence-oriented approaches and alliance-based collaboration.
A central element of EUonAIR’s engagement was introducing a broader, competence-based narrative of mobility. Discussions moved beyond administrative procedures and addressed mobility as a structured competence-development pathway. Particular attention was given to the development of intercultural, transversal and career-relevant skills, as well as to the long-term academic and professional impact of international experience. Students were encouraged to perceive exchange participation as a reflective and developmental process rather than solely an academic transfer period.
The EUonAIR stand functioned as an interactive consultation and dialogue point. Students raised questions regarding differences between standard Erasmus procedures and alliance-level cooperation, support mechanisms during mobility and reintegration, and opportunities for involvement in EUonAIR-related activities at ALK and partner institutions. These interactions also enabled informal needs mapping and early identification of student expectations and perceived barriers in the mobility process.
From a project implementation perspective, the event contributed to increased visibility of EUonAIR mobility-related actions at the institutional level, strengthened cooperation between formal mobility structures and alliance initiatives, expanded outreach among potential outgoing students and supported the development of a mobility-oriented academic culture consistent with WP5 priorities. The structured presence of EUonAIR reinforced the institutional embedding of alliance-level mobility strategies within everyday university activities.
